JPS Gallery is pleased to announce its relocation to a Grade II historic building at 88-90 Staunton Street, Central, Hong Kong. This move, set to take place in Q4 2024, coincides with the gallery’s momentous 10th anniversary celebration.

The gallery’s new location will be nestled within a meticulously restored tenement building constructed in 1951. Located in the heart of Hong Kong’s economic and cultural centre with over 70 years of history, this building is a significant cultural heritage site supported by The Urban Renewal Authority’s (URA) Staunton Street Revitalisation Project, an initiative dedicated to restoring, conserving, and rejuvenating historic structures in Hong Kong.

Bridging the gap between Hong Kong’s rich cultural heritage and the vibrant contemporary art scene they have championed for a decade, JPS Gallery’s commitment to the Staunton Street Revitalisation Project goes beyond mere occupancy. They plan to integrate the building’s historical elements into their exhibition space, creating a unique fusion of past and present.

Visitors can expect to see original architectural features such as traditional Shanghai plaster craftsmanship, which first emerged in Hong Kong in the mid-1920s. The iconic signboard of the former “Baobin Tea House” from the 1970s will be carefully preserved and seamlessly incorporated into the gallery’s modern design.

With its new space, JPS Gallery aims to create a vibrant hub where the community can engage with cutting-edge art while appreciating the area’s cultural legacy. The relocation to Staunton Street marks a significant milestone for JPS and symbolises the gallery’s dedication to fostering creativity, preserving cultural heritage, and contributing to the dynamic art scene in Hong Kong.
