The Tai Po Youth Arts Festival 2019 - Dynamic Arts@Tai Po will be held from noon to 5pm this weekend (March 2 and 3) at the Tai Po Arts Centre.
      
     The Tai Po Youth Arts Festival is a major annual event in Tai Po District. This year's festival covers a wide range of activities including a singing performance by Tai Po Youth Arts Ambassador, hand bell performances, boomwhacker performances, puppetry, appreciation of Cantonese opera through virtual reality, hip-hop performances, colourful mazes, hula hoop dance performances, cyanotype creations and dreamcatcher-making, together with a number of arts exhibitions.
      
     The Signature Project of Tai Po District under the Signature Project Scheme is "Establishment of an Arts Centre by Retrofitting Tai Po Government Secondary School". The Tai Po Youth Arts Festival 2019 is the first major community engagement event to be held at the Tai Po Arts Centre. The Tai Po Arts Centre offers better equipped arts spaces and facilities for the community, and aims to attract performing arts groups to become resident arts groups and provide the community with a variety of arts training and performances of a higher caliber. These arts groups could also establish closer interaction with the community and youths to better promote and enhance the arts development of Tai Po District.
      
     The Tai Po Youth Arts Festival 2019 - Dynamic Arts@Tai Po is organised by the Working Group on Signature Projects of Tai Po District of the Tai Po District Council, co-organised by the Tai Po District Office, and sponsored by the Tai Po District Council.
