Presented by PMQ and sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the event presents a variety of programmes by engaging designers and creative communities in the city and overseas.
deTour is a unique platform that seeks to inspire by featuring the latest creative expressions and innovative design, whilst fostering exchange of ideas between emerging talents and established creative professionals.
PMQ (formerly Hollywood Road Police Married Quarters) opened its door in April 2014 and is Hong Kong’s definitive hub for creativity. A platform for local creative talents to showcase their work and creations, PMQ is home to over 100 local young create-preneurs; a showground for homegrown and international artists, and the leading creative lifestyle destination right in the heart of our city.
