Help us fund the 2026 Festival.

The Inter-island Festival chooses slowness over spectacle, relationships over reach, and care over quick impact. We aim to host a sustainable event for the community that refuses to be just another attraction, but a way of staying with this archipelago, and with each other. 

 

That's why we choose not to seek big off-island corporate sponsorship to bolster our finances. Instead, we turn directly to people who care about the outlying islands; who are curious about slower, smaller public cultures; and who believe that art can be embedded in everyday life.​

 

We have secured baseline funding to support a minimum scale festival in 2026, with the help of Design Trust, Partnerships for Community Development, and the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.  Your additional support in 2026 will help us make the Festival more sustainable by:

 

• offering a liveable wage and fair working conditions for everyone involved;

• expanding the scale of research and artistic projects that respond to island development and ecological change;

• sustain long-term collaborations with island residents, local shops, and practitioners; 

• document our efforts for posterity and future research.

 

In return for your support, we offer proportional rewards like public thanks, cool swag, or access to behind-the-scenes events.

​

Any amount helps keep this Festival for the islands and by the islands. Thank you for your support.
