About Us
Not a Gallery
Not a Gallery was co-founded by UK-registered art psychotherapist Leung Ching Wan (Gigi) and Hong Kong documentary director Wong Siu-pong.
We look beyond conventional definitions of art based on the binary of "beauty" versus "ugliness". We believe that art-making can bring profound changes to our lives, transcending the creator's background, achievements, or stage of life.
Since 2018, we have been committed to providing a diverse range of art therapy services, including individual and group sessions. We also design group trainings and experiential workshops for various corporations and organisations, such as C. C. Wu Cultural & Education Foundation Fund, HKEX Foundation, SIE Fund, AXA, Nan Fung Group, City University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Arts Center, the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, and Caritas Hong Kong.
As of early 2024, we have provided psychotherapy services to over 4,000 individuals.
In 2020, we established SINCE Concept Store, the first store in Hong Kong dedicated to promoting mental health and documentaries. We carefully curated a range of books, card games, and other products designed to foster communication and self-exploration, inspire reflection, and provide emotional outlet. Furthermore, we featured acclaimed documentaries from around the world to promote humanitarian perspectives with real-life narratives. In late 2023, to promote mental wellness in a community setting, we expanded our operations to include a new art space within our store, offering more accessible ways to engage in art, such as art jamming, gratitude board workshops, exhibitions, etc.
In 2025, we closed our physical storefront to focus our energy on community-based projects. Our curated products are now available through our online shop, and our workshops and curation services remain fully active.
We look forward to meeting you.
