What to expect
Collaborating organisation: Colour My World We invite you to join Neon Metropolis Workshop, a collaborative community installation inspired by the Vital Signs exhibition. Conceptualised and led by Colour My World, the visual art workshop is for families to get creative together. Come along as a pair of a child aged above 6 and a grandparent/parent, they might have some special memories of Hong Kong’s neon-lit past!
Pay tribute to our city’s legendary neon masters of the 70s and 80s by bringing your paper-craft building facades to life using fluorescent and neon colours. Contribute your newly-created neon building to become part of the collaborative cityscape installation, Neon Metropolis. As the community effort builds and the installation grows, a dazzling neon city emerges. Hong Kong’s ever-changing landscape is also reflected in the display of Neon Metropolis with newer designs replacing older ones. You will also take home a memento of your arts experience.
Before joining our workshop on the day, make sure you take a walk at the Vital Signs exhibitions to be inspired by the extraordinary craftmanship by the neon masters.

Great event and an opportunity to design one’s building and join an installation.
After watching the exhibition, I went to a workshop, which fits well with the theme. The children had fun, and the works became part of the exhibition. The children felt very satisfied!
Good and professional teachers for kids. We can learn more about HK from the workshop.
nice product nice teachers just too limited chairs and table, better to indicate workshop suitable for 6-12 year old kids may be?? as some baby kids they not interested in and not enjoying
very good cultural event, can see Hong Kong’s history
Participating in the workshop after watching the exhibition gave the children a deep understanding. Finally, they can exhibit their own works, which gives them a sense of success! Thank you to the organizer for preserving the light and beauty of Hong Kong!
It is suitable for children who like to draw and paint easily. After the hourly work is completed, put it together with other children's works. It looks like a city. Then the photo feels good.
It can make children understand the history and culture of the red light, and you can also watch the exhibition, which benefits a lot and is worth a visit.
a bit too rush, but the workshop is good
The children thought it was fun, so she chose to make the Peninsula Center, which is very representative of Hong Kong, but it was a pity that the father did not help the children to take pictures
