Co-presenters

Since its inception, ‘No Limits’—co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust—has become an important platform for inclusive arts in Hong Kong. As we approach its eighth edition in 2026, I am heartened by how this partnership continues to promote inclusion through the arts, foster understanding, creativity, and connection across our community.

Over the past seven editions, ‘No Limits’ has attracted more than 145,000 in-venue and unique online participants through live and digital programmes by outstanding international and local artists of different abilities, as well as through a wide range of educational and community outreach activities. According to an independent social impact assessment carried out by a professional survey company, “No Limits 2025 effectively achieved the intended outcomes and impacts… audience members exhibited more positive attitudes towards persons with disabilities, demonstrated higher appreciation of inclusive arts.” The report also confirmed that “No Limits successfully strengthened sector capacity in inclusive arts practices.”

These results further affirm my belief that ‘No Limits’ is a key platform for promoting artistic creativity, equal opportunities, and social inclusion.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, our Co-Presenter, for its steadfast partnership; to Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong for their invaluable support in providing accessibility services; and to all artists, partners and the ‘No Limits’ team for their dedication.

Let us continue to advance our vision for building an inclusive arts community that celebrates diversity and the limitless potential of human creativity.

Art in its many forms has the power to transcend boundaries, bridge differences and break down stereotypes. It is the connection that unites us all.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club and its Trust believe that art can enrich lives and capture the imagination of many. The programmes we support help make art more accessible and spark creativity within our community. We are proud to have co-presented “No Limits” with the Hong Kong Arts Festival Society since 2019, celebrating the transformative power of artistic expression.

“No Limits” provides a barrier-free environment empowering artists and audiences to cultivate inclusion. With the theme – “All of us, all ways” – this year’s programme features performances by local and international artists showcasing the extraordinary capabilities of people of all levels of ability, alongside a series of education programmes to engage the wider community.

To attract more young people and families, “No Limits” will hold special performances and screenings at Tai Kwun, with a talent series to facilitate the professional growth of local artists and inclusive arts groups. “No Limits” will also establish a network to advance regional collaboration and thought leadership. Accompanying the project once again will also be the Jockey Club “No Limits” Education and Community Programme featuring school tours, talks and workshops.

The Club’s support for “No Limits” is just one of many ways in which it seeks to make the arts accessible to all – as evidenced by over 50 years’ support for the Hong Kong Arts Festival, as well the revitalisation of Tai Kwun and the construction of the Hong Kong Palace Museum.

Our support for “No Limits”, like all our charity and community contributions, is made possible by the Club’s unique integrated business model. Through this we provide racing and racecourse entertainment, partner the HKSAR Government in combatting illegal gambling, and channel responsible wagering demand into tax payments, charity donations and employment that benefit Hong Kong.

I offer sincere thanks to the Hong Kong Arts Festival for its enduring collaboration as well as all participating artists and performers. We hope this year’s “No Limits” will resonate with audiences young and old, leaving them enriched and inspired.

Since 2019, “No Limits” – co-presented by the Hong Kong Arts Festival and The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust – has been an inclusive platform dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary imagination and craft of differently-abled regional and international artists.

In this past year, our efforts have been recognised both locally and internationally:

• The 2025 “No Limits” – “The Human Touch” was awarded a Special Award for “Excellence in Social and Community Good” at The Hong Kong Management Association’s Award for Marketing Excellence 2025.

• The site-specific community programme In Touch We Trust has won Japan’s Good Design Award 2025, recognised for its inclusive collaboration across a mixed-ability team, balancing accessibility with artistic quality in a professional context.

Remaining true to its founding belief, the eighth edition of “No Limits” brings together outstanding artists from Hong Kong and different parts of the world, including Japan, Germany, the UK, Switzerland and more. A total of 11 music, theatre, dance, and film works will be presented in 29 performances across the city which, together with months of free film screenings online, reflect the vibrancy and creativity of the international inclusive arts scene.

This year marks an important milestone for “No Limits” as it embarks on a new direction for local collaborations. For the first time, “No Limits” co-produces works with flagship Hong Kong arts companies — partnering with the Hong Kong Dance Company, the China Hong Kong Para Dance Sport Association, the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, and local erhu soloist Yang Enhua — to create two locally produced programmes that embody the spirit of diversity and inclusion.

Beyond the stage, this year’s Jockey Club “No Limits” Education and Community Programme continues to grow and deepen its impact through nurturing the next generation of inclusive artists. The acclaimed Pilot Creative Training Programme offers local teaching artists expanded training and opportunities for advanced study to further strengthen their teaching practice. In addition, over 20 school tour performances and 13 supplementary events – including workshops and talks – bring inclusive arts into local communities and broaden the educational impact of “No Limits”.

We are deeply grateful to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the co-presenter of “No Limits”, for partnering with us long-term to promote inclusive arts in our city. We also thank our Strategic Supporting Partner, Arts with the Disabled Association Hong Kong, for their professional advice and generous assistance in ensuring accessibility so that people of all abilities can fully enjoy the arts.

On behalf of Hong Kong Arts Festival, I warmly invite you to join us and experience the exciting events in this year’s “No Limits” programme.
