About the GUILD

The HKU GUILD is a multilingual and interdisciplinary creative home, rooted in deep care and research, to more than 10 interactive and inspired programmes and projects. HKU is proud to offer an experienced, inviting, and exciting open space, ready to help bring your vision to life. Explore a history of excellence and build your story, at the GUILD!

The HKU GUILD was founded in 2014 on the new Centennial Campus by the Chair of Creative Writing & Theatre, Page Richards, in the Faculty of Arts and School of English, pouring passion and mastery into new productions and events year-round.

Across history, Artistic Guilds are mobile, participatory, and flexible. Worldwide, they are built on the idea of family and fellowship, continuity and excellence, passing the torch of craft and exploration to the younger members of our communities.

Artistic Guilds come together for building new creative works, making communal connections, exploring mutual care, and the pursuit of common goals into the unknown.

BUILD THE GUILD

The GUILD deeply thanks the Faculty of Arts headed by the Dean, Professor Derek Collins, the School of English, and each of these Honoured Contributors, whose talents and dreams continue to build the GUILD and carry us into the future.
