Pearl Lam Galleries SOHO proudly presents Hidden Street, its first community project, featuring nine Hong Kong-based street artists: 4get, Anny, Bao, Cath Love, Felipe Wong, Hadrian Lam, Peter Yuill, Sinic, and Uns. The artists will transform the gallery space into a street art corner that reflects Hong Kong local culture. From 10–13 August, the Hong Kong public will be invited to the gallery to view and participate in the creation of ‘live paintings’ through interactions with the artists. Visitors are encouraged to share the artists’ ‘hidden street art’ images on social media. On 14 August, there will be an opening party in the evening to celebrate the paintings’ completion. From 15 August–11 September, the gallery will present three artist talks, a talk by local indie band lead singer and illustrator Jan Curious, a youth workshop for ages 10–16, and screenings of On the Road, a street art travel documentary, which are all open to the public to make this a true community event. The gallery space with the completed street art installation will also be open for public viewing during this period.

On the Road is a documentary, supported by Converse, that highlights the entirety of the nearly two-month-long trip. It was first released in December 2012.
