Art that Moves. Stories that Matter.

We connect spaces, people, and ideas through bold curatorial vision and regional insight.

Who we are

 

Arts South is a Hong Kong-based curatorial studio rooted in storytelling, collaboration, and cultural intelligence.

We create meaningful art experiences that bridge geographies and speak to the spirit of our times.

Born from Leap Initiative Philanthropies (LIP), Arts South continues a legacy of artistic exchange, cultural research, and deep-rooted engagement across Asia, Africa, and beyond.

What we do

 

From curating collections to producing landmark exhibitions and advising clients on artistic direction, we offer bespoke services with narrative depth and regional insight.

Projects with Purpose

Artistic collaborations that speak to our times

Art. Place. Story.

Signature Projects

 

At Arts South, each project is a story — a carefully curated encounter between art, place, and purpose. Our featured initiatives highlight the diversity of our practice, from transcontinental dialogues to narratives born from resilience and reinvention.
