3rd CISCE European Promotion Event: Pioneering New Frameworks for Global Supply Chain Collaboration
HONG KONG, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Metis Global Group (Metis) has long been committed to corporate social responsibility (CSR), actively engaging in charitable healthcare initiatives and rural education development, striving to build a more compassionate and inclusive society. This year, Metis has further extended its influence into the realm of contemporary art, becoming a key sponsor of the UPWARD – Huang Yulong exhibition. In collaboration with Great Entertainment Group and the renowned gallery Ora-Ora, Metis aims to integrate art into everyday life, igniting fresh imagination and a vibrant creative energy.
20 Monumental Sculptures Transform the Urban Landscape into a Canvas
UPWARD – Huang Yulong is a groundbreaking exhibition that fuses street culture with contemporary sculpture, presented from 12 to 31 March at the Hong Kong Observation Wheel and AIA Vitality Park. Acclaimed artist Huang Yulong, known for his collaboration with international superstar Andy Lau on the Share the Love sculpture series, now presents 20 monumental sculptures. Centred around his signature hooded figure, these works serve as a powerful visual language, embodying themes of openness, diversity, community, and youth engagement.
These sculptures, standing tall with their heads lifted towards the sky, symbolise a fearless attitude towards challenges and an embrace of hope. They embody the spirit of resilience and boundless possibility, values that align with Metis' philosophy. At Metis, we believe that innovation and breakthroughs are not only the driving forces behind corporate growth but also essential catalysts for social progress. Guided by this vision, we have expanded from Hong Kong to the Asia-Pacific region, actively contributing to charitable healthcare, rural education, and cultural development. By sponsoring this renowned exhibition, Metis invites the public to experience the energy of sculptures, to feel the pulse of the era, and be inspired to fearlessly explore their own journeys and pursue their aspirations.
Corporate Engagement in Art: Expanding Cultural Influence for the Future
Dr Cheung, Founder and Chairman of Metis, stated: "This sponsorship of a contemporary art exhibition is an extension of our CSR strategy. Art and business are both rooted in innovation and value creation. Through this sponsorship, we hope to support outstanding artists, foster more profound engagement with the public, and ensure the lasting influence of culture into the future."
From healthcare and education to cultural development, Metis has remained steadfast in its commitment to giving back to society through meaningful action. By sponsoring UPWARD – Huang Yulong, we aim to inspire more enterprises to recognise the value of cultural assets and to see contemporary art as not just an artistic expression, but as a powerful catalyst for social innovation and shared values. Just as UPWARD – Huang Yulong captures the aspirations of our time through sculpture, Metis translates these values into action, working hand in hand with the art world to shape the spirit of our era and envision a better future. Through this sponsorship, we hope to set an example and encourage broader support for emerging industries and young creative talent, fostering a shared movement towards progress and leveraging art as a transformative force in defining the values of our time.
