Chairman

Mrs. Susanna Hei 

Susanna Hei is a walking demonstration of the age-old idiom “actions speak louder than words”. She has always strived to turn her visions into actions, into reality. This dates back to her founding of Fine Art Asia with her husband, Andy Hei, in 2006. Fine Art Asia has grown to be recognized as Asia’s leading fine art fair, unique for offering a wide range of collectible fine art from the East and the West. 

Susanna is also a firm believer in the “positive cycle” and the power of education in helping people achieve their dreams: ‘People who have received help will become more willing to help others.’ It is not that others are fated to be unfortunate, nor is it that we are destined to be lucky. Everyone has their own unique experiences, and we should help others with our power. She founded Art Mentor International Ltd. specializing in musical theatre education and producing original music and stories for brand-new Broadway-style children's musicals in 2019. Other than providing musical theatre education to kids to develop their skills, the company also furnishes the young future by providing creative opportunities and work experiences.

I believe that children are the fundamental pillars of any well-established society, and we have the responsibility to provide them with all the care and support they need. Underprivileged children are often denied their chances to dive into arts and culture. AMEF was founded in June 2020, with a great aspiration to connect the value of arts, community services, and whole-person development. Life isn't just about living itself; we long to teach children how to embrace different art forms, to understand life through chances of exploration, thus equipping them with the patience and ability to enjoy life.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of volunteer mentors, we were able to gather sufficient manpower and resources to hold various free workshops and provide for the children who are from low-income families. Mentors also gain valuable teaching experience while giving back to the community.

Since 2022, we have received funding from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, LINK REIT, Eastern District Office, Yau Tsim Mong District Office, and Sha Tin District Office, Sha Tin Arts & Culture Promotion Committee, The Ink Society, and Tsi Ku Chai. This support has enabled us to create exceptional performances for our community to enjoy. We have always been generating employment opportunities for young people in different fields, providing a platform for them to shine. In the coming years, we will persist in building a larger impact to every child or youngster in need.
