EVENT THE FIRST INITIATIVE FOUNDATION GALA DINNER
WHERE HONG KONG HERITAGE MUSEUM, SHA TIN
First Initiative Foundation's annual gala dinner coincided with the opening of Le French May's "Claude Monet: The Spirit of Place" exhibition, which took place at Hong Kong Heritage Museum in Sha Tin. The foundation, established and chaired by Michelle Ong, has taken many initiatives to promote art education in Hong Kong.
To complement the Monet exhibition, the foundation published two children's books. More than 300 VIP guests including Pansy Ho, Eric Berti and Eason Chan enjoyed a preview of the exhibition before arriving for the gala dinner prepared by French fine-dining restaurant ÉPURE. The art-inspired menu includes a mesmerising dessert resembling a painter's palette made of chocolate.
OVERHEARD Kenny Bee’s daughters are better dressed than I am.
