MILL6 Foundation
MILL6 Foundation is a non-profit arts and cultural institution and a registered charity in Hong Kong. Established in 2015 and as part of The Mills heritage conservation project, the space is expected to complete in 2018.
As an arts and cultural institution centered on textile arts in Hong Kong, MILL6 curates a series of programs consisting of: Permanent Collection, Exhibition, Community Engagement, Learning, Artist-in- Residence, Heritage and Public Art, to foster independent creative practice, as well as to explore new meanings and experience of textile arts and techstyle innovation with local communities. The non-profit institution is committed to preserving the essence of local culture and heritage, conserving the valued stories of the textile industry, and driving a continuous dialogue between Hong Kong and international creators. Our exhibitions and activities provide a way to ‘look out’ to the outside world for local creative and communities, and a way to ‘look in’ for international creative and communities to learn about Hong Kong.
