How to survive as an artist 藝術家生存之道

Co-organized by: HKUST Lee Shau Kee Library  I  Development and Alumni Office  

Being regarded as an important new-generation artist for the city, our MBA alumna Vivian Ho took the bold decision, after completing her degree from Wesleyan University in Economics and Studio Art, to become a visual artist. In her talk, Vivian will share with us the different facets of an art career, the inner workings of the art world and her helpful tips about surviving as an artist as she navigates her fun, inspiring yet challengeable art journey. 

In just a few years, Vivian has held several solo and group exhibitions both in HK and overseas, building a reputation for imagination and sharp insight, with depictions of ordinary people in city life, and creating a romantic, almost cinematic vision. Her works are currently collected by M+ Museum, the Foundation Valmont, Nishiji Collection and Copelouzos Family Art Museum. 

This sharing is an affiliated event of the exhibition “The Power of Diversity – Artistic Visionaries from HKUST”, one of the highlights of HKUST’s 30th Anniversary, held at the HKUST Lee Shau Kee Library from April 19 to August 24, 2022.

MBA校友何博欣 (Vivian Ho) 為本地新一代備受重視的藝術家，於美國Wesleyan University修畢經濟及藝術學位課程後，毅然投身藝術界，展開一段有趣、具啟發性且充滿挑戰的創作旅程。Vivian將會以過來人的身份和大家分享藝術事業的多面性、藝術世界的運作，以及在創作道路上所學到的藝術家生存之道。 

短短數年間，Vivian的創作已經在香港及世界各地多個個人展覽及聯展中展出。憑著豐富的想像力以及敏銳的洞察力，她將平凡不過的日常場景，化成一幅幅充滿浪漫色彩，甚至帶有幾分電影感的藝術創作。她的作品亦受到M+博物館、Valmont藝術基金、Nishiji Collection以及Copelouzos家庭藝術博物館的青睞而收藏其中。 

是次分享會乃慶祝科大三十週年所舉辦之展覽《多元藝力》的活動之一。有關展覽於2022年4月中旬至8月24日假香港科技大學圖書館舉行，展出四位校友藝術家的畫作及攝影作品。
