HKAS is an accredited institute staffed by a group of dedicated artists, who are active and distinguished practitioners in the field. The focus of HKAS award-bearing curriculum lies in four core academic areas:

The Gallery of Hong Kong Art School provides an exclusive exhibition platform to the students and alumni of the School. It is a bridge between the School and the real art world. It brings in practical gallery operation opportunities and it brings art out to reach the community, especially since it is located right at the heart of the city, and is inside one of the most vibrant and briskest art spaces in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Arts Centre.

As a School Gallery, it gears its aims more towards educational domain and it provides more than common galleries can normally do. Apart from exposing their artistic outcomes and talents, the Gallery aims at helping students and alumni build up confidence, proficiency, and professionalism in integrating art with local culture.
