ArtBound Initiative - Creative Internships in Hong Kong

The program was very supportive and helpful throughout the process. I was very lucky and got an offer from TBWA Hong Kong under the help of ABI. The internship experience was both very valuable and enjoyable, with super friendly and awesome colleagues, seniors that are willing to give me real client work, and many opportunities to learn. Unexpectedly, I also got a full time position out of this internship, which is amazing. Given that we're still in a pandemic, I wasn't able to meet as many people or attend as many activities, but the occasional gatherings with the crew and other members were great too!

It was the most incredible experience, it allowed me to grow so much stronger as a designer and as a creative. It gives you all the support that you need while exposing you to a new culture and one of the best advertising agencies. Artbound does a great job at mentoring you before, during and after the internship. They introduce you to career changing experiences specifically in the field that you want to pursue. I was able to work directly with the creative director and have first hand experience on the entire design process from research to designs. Outside of work you are able to experience an incredible culture and city, with everything from exhibits, hiking, nightlife and amazing food. It is a great program that I would highly recommend any creative to pursue!

Interning for Pace Gallery Hong Kong was an incredible experience to kick-start my career in the arts, I learnt so much about the industry and established a great network. ABI was so helpful in getting me there!

My time im Hong Kong through Artbound Initiative was an amazing. I got to practise my passion in another city developing new ideas and design language through a different cultural lense! It was Great!

I recently finished my 3-month graphic design internship with an excellent advertising agency in busy Hong Kong, and the ArtBound Initiative team has been great accommodating me before, during, and after my program. They provide access, where there is usually little or none at all, to creative opportunities, growing experiences, and global networks. With the support on all sides, it's a good chance to build a solid foundation for yourself. It was a hard process, but it was also a rewarding step in the creative industry, and the ArtBound Initiative team stuck by me for the journey. No matter where you are personally and professionally, I would recommend considering their internship programs.

The experience I had abroad in Hong Kong was epic! Coming from a city like New York, I thought I knew what fast paced was but I was very wrong. The bustling night life and work environment took me by storm. I loved it! The experience of it all gave me a chance to develop ideas and get a taste of what the international market is like. While abroad I was able to make tons of friends and create professional relationships. This opportunity and experience wouldn't have been possible without ABI.

I was one of the first to be placed by ArtBound Initiative in Hong Kong. I cannot express enough how much I gained in experience from the program. Although only with the foundation for 7 weeks, I learned a lot of new skills and acquired a sizable network of contacts. ArtBound helped me through every step of the process, from tailoring my resume to interviewing for the position with Hong Kong Contemporary Art Foundation. This program is the boost I needed to further excel in the art world.
