Para Site launches PS Paid Studio Visits, a new, free-to-attend, online series of virtual studio visits with a younger generation of Hong Kong artists.
Para Site will pay each artist a studio visit fee along with one-month health insurance coverage to provide support to this vulnerable community during the global pandemic. At a time when many parts of the economy supporting artists’ livelihoods has ground to a halt for an undefined period of time, Para Site initiates this project as a modest contribution to pay close attention to local artists.
