The most recent group exhibition took place at IdN Gallery in July 2007 to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Hong Kong handover. This time the theme was "Hong Kong Vision: Past/Future" with each artist interpreting their own vision of HK both pre- and post-handover. All proceeds from the exhibition were donated to youth outreach charities.

Our most ambitious exhibition to date, 450/SQ.FT was our take on space issues and cramped conditions in Hong Kong. As well as the core ST/ART artists, the exhibition at IdN Gallery featured an additional 45 guest artists who between them filled over 450 single square foot canvases. All proceeds from the exhibition were donated to help Hong Kong's homeless and street sleepers.

The RE:ST/ART Exhibition took place at the old ChinaStylus studio in Central in January 2006. As it was Chinese New Year, the exhibition was themed Re:Fresh / Re:Use / Re:Cycle and all the "canvases" were objects found discarded in the streets around Central

ST/ART is an occasional collective of urban artists, formed to encourage, explore and document urban art culture in Hong Kong. The ongoing project is a ChinaStylus initiative.

Through events, exhibitions and collaborations, the ST/ART collective aims to challenge and widen the traditional perception of “graffiti”, legitimise genuine urban art and at the same time question the value of the established commercial 'art' scene.

ST/ART exists to provide a positive forum and exposure for the growing number of talented urban artists in Hong Kong, as well as providing avenues for their work.

Since its inception at the start of 2005, the collective has curated and funded three of its own successful group exhibitions; RE:ST/ART, 450/SQ.FT and 10:10 Hong Kong Vision – all of which attracted considerable media attention and public support, while at the same time raising money for several local charities.

The collective has appeared at several local festivals, enjoyed press, TV and radio support and also been commissioned to provide artwork for several local and overseas publications. ST/ART has also been invited on major collaborative projects with Reebok, Evisu and Tiger Beer among others.

Current artists include; GraphicAirlines, *COM, Start From Zero, C#, Big Mad, KS1, Katol, ESP, Ping.
