Sino Art in Community x SBC Shing Tak Centre x Sim Chan & Stanley Siu
Through the launch of ‘Sino Art in Community’ in 2013, we extend our outreach into the community and bring art closer to life. Our service targets include kindergartens and children’s homes, where ‘Sino Caring Friends’ and local artists create community art together with the underprivileged, children and educators. In the latest project of Sino Art in Community, we partner with local artist Sim Chan and architect Stanley Siu on a large-scale mural for the Society of Boys’ Centres Shing Tak Centre.
Sim and Stanley vividly depict the Society’s motto, ‘Self-respect, Self-discipline, Self-reliance’, with a re-construction of a three-wall collage of deconstructed images of the Centre and the city.
The first part of the mural features images of the Centre environment, and represents the learning and development of ‘respect’; the second part bridges the Centre and society, it is where students acquire ‘discipline’; the collage of city images in the third part demonstrates that student should be ‘self-reliant’ after graduation. It is the Society’s vision to instill the spirit of ‘Self-respect, Self-discipline, Self-reliance’ into students, who can build positive values and attitude towards life in a happy learning environment.

信和集團於2013年推出「信和社區藝術」計劃，由「信和有心人」與本地藝術家合作，走進社區如幼稚園及兒童家舍製作壁畫，與弱勢社群、兒童及教育團體舉辦藝術工作坊，進一步將藝術融入生活。是次「信和社區藝術」計劃與本地藝術家陳閃與建築師蕭國健合作，為香港扶幼會盛德中心設計壁畫。
藝術家陳閃與建築師蕭國健巧用拼貼元素，把中心及城市的影像分拆再重組，以學生從中心走進社會為設計概念，透過由3部份組成的大型壁畫，以嶄新的視覺手法巧妙呈現會訓「自尊、自治、自立」。
第1部份的壁畫以中心周遭環境為主，表達學生在中心建立「自尊」；第2部份的壁畫則描繪學生在成長階段中，由中心走出社會期間學會「自治」，而第3部份的壁畫則以城市為題，表達學生畢業後投身社會需要「自立」。機構致力培育學生「自尊、自治、自立」的精神，希望同學在愉快的學習環境下，建立積極的價值觀。
