Uniting Cultures, Creating Encounters

A Hong Kong-based non-profit organisation dedicated to cultural dialogue between France and Hong Kong, where theatre becomes a space for encounter and shared experience.

Where cultures meet on stage!

A registered Hong Kong charity since 2023.

Uniting Cultures Through the Power of Art

The Seelinger Arts Foundation is committed to fostering meaningful cultural dialogue between France and Hong Kong through the arts. We focus on the performing arts, and on theatre in particular, as a way to bring people together, spark reflection and create shared experiences beyond borders.

Through curated artistic programmes, educational initiatives and inclusive public engagement, we contribute to Hong Kong’s cultural landscape while building lasting connections between French and Hong Kong artists, audiences and institutions. The Foundation is recognised as a charitable organisation by the Hong Kong government, and its board works on a voluntary basis.
