the Arca proudly presents: TWGHs NFT Marketplace Charity Bidding cum Art Exhibition to raise funds for “TWGHs Anti-epidemic Assistance Work”

The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) keeps abreast of the times and launched its own NFT Marketplace https://tungwahnft.io/ to present a series of unique NFT (Non-fungible token) art pieces, making it the first NFT charity platform launched by a local charity organisation in Hong Kong. NFT art pieces listed on the platform will be auctioned where all members of the public are welcome to bid for their favourite NFT art pieces. Funds raised through the auction will be used to support the “Anti-epidemic Assistance Work” of the Group.

To enhance public involvement, TWGHs will be organising a physical exhibition from 20 May to 2 June to showcase the NFT art pieces and is honoured to have H Queen’s as the Venue Sponsor of the Exhibition. This is an accredited event celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. NFT art pieces to be exhibited include the “TWGHs x Drago Cavallo NFT series” created by artist Mr. Simon Ma, each unique piece of NFT art piece is of high collection value, carrying design of Drago Cavallo in different colours with TWGHs logo, which symbolises the love and care from TWGHs to the community, and Drago Cavallo is sending this love to more people.

In addition, Mei Ah Entertainment collaborated with Beam Plus Lab to sponsor 50 pieces of NFT art pieces under the theme of “Hong Kong Movies” by renowned photographer Wing Shya to TWGHs. Other NFT art pieces include artistic portraits of TWGHs Board of Directors created by Joseph Lui @ Signature Ltd and “Planet” NFT series donated by Lovelly Creations Ltd. We have also taken the initiative to be the first organisation to transform artworks of our artists with different abilities from our social enterprise i-dArt into NFTs for charity auction on the NFT Marketplace. In the Ceremony, Ms. Yumi CHUNG was appointed as ambassador of the Event to raise funds for “TWGHs Anti-epidemic Assistance Work” and join hands with TWGHs to promote this Event.

Mr. Ma Ching Yeung, Philip, the Chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and Chairman of the Organising Committee, said, “TWGHs has been a pioneer in innovation, striving for excellence. Being the first charity organisation in Hong Kong to launch an NFT Marketplace on owned platform fully demonstrates the Group as a proactive, youthful and dynamic charity organisation. On behalf of TWGHs, I would like to thank all the above units for their support and charitable deeds.”

All members of the public are welcome to visit by appointment at https://www.tungwah.org.hk/?p=37192 with free admission. More NFT art pieces will be available for auction by phases on the NFT Marketplace https://tungwahnft.io/ soon. Please stay tuned.
