Art in Motion: Special Olympics Hong Kong Athletes Create Art with Samantha Lam

Date: 14 July 2024
Venue: Aura Art, The Orbit

An exciting event recently came to the Special Olympics Hong Kong: spin art day led by Samantha Lam. Samantha is passionate about our cause and the belief in uniting people through sport. As a rising senior at St. Paul’s School in New Hampshire, she is a swimmer and duathlon athlete. However, she is also a passionate artist and her belief in the power of sport translates to art too.

On Sunday, 14th July 2024, Samantha brought athletes from Special Olympics Hong Kong to a spin art studio, where each athlete had the opportunity to showcase a new talent and express themselves through colour and paint. Each distinctive art piece will be showcased in August, open to the public. The exhibition will show the hard work of these talented young artist-athletes and will aim to demonstrate the power and importance of inclusion.
