<p>A pioneer in Chinese art and antiquities, the family-owned Chu’s Gallery has been present on Hollywood Road, Central, for three decades. Its public face, the indefatigable Sally Chu, is a champion of the vibrant Hong Kong art scene and launched Oneness Art Platform to embrace the increasingly contemporary art world and to be the bridge for the global and the Chinese art market. She is also Vice-President of the Starfish Art Association, which runs projects to aid artists in the spirit of Oneness.</p>

<p>Extending her energies beyond art, Chu is the author of two books and a passionate supporter of women entrepreneurs and community enrichment. Internationally, she is active in the United Nations’ Fair Pay Foundation, which aims to achieve equity and justice in labour practices, and recently received a United Nations Peace Award. She is also enthusiastic about the wellness economy, blockchain projects and collaborating with visionary entrepreneurs in the global market.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How has your background in art influenced your outlook on life?</h3>



<p>Through my experience in the art world I have realised the ways in which traditional art is valuable and full of meaning in this challenging world. That’s why I created a series of digital art with masters and young artists for the Oneness art platform.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What fascinates you about the Hong Kong art scene?</h3>



<p>Hong Kong is an incredible place, so vibrant and dynamic. It offers us countless opportunities for cultural and spiritual growth and it’s a city that thrives on creativity and connection.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>In Hong Kong, we have witnessed a remarkable influx of creative talent from across the world. This diversity enriches our cultural landscape. At the Fringe Club, for example, we have built a platform where local talents, alongside those from Asia, can showcase their work through exhibitions and performances. This initiative not only celebrates creativity but also fosters collaboration and understanding among different communities.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How did your long involvement with Chu’s Gallery shape who you are today? And why did you launch Oneness Art Platform?</h3>



<p>For two generations Chu’s Gallery – and now Oneness Art Platform – has embodied my vision for spiritual and cultural harmony. &nbsp;Oneness was conceived as a platform to promote wellbeing, and it has enriched my career and the art community more generally. For instance, we have collaborated with Zhi Art Space at the Fringe Club.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Through Oneness I have a daily reminder that even a small wish, a single gesture of kindness, can spark a butterfly effect, rippling outward to create profound change. Never underestimate the power of these small acts; when combined, these good wishes contribute to a collective consciousness that uplifts humanity.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Furthermore, we have developed a series of mentorship programs focusing on spirituality, art and life coaching. These programs aim to elevate our collective vibrational frequency, helping individuals connect with their true selves and with one another. I believe that through art and spiritual exploration, we can pave the way for deeper connections and lasting peace.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Every step of this journey, and especially those moments outside my comfort zone, working with global builders and leaders, has fed my soul in ways I never imagined.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What’s your opinion about the use of AI in art?</h3>



<p>It’s an exciting time, and we need to make sure AI is used positively and that it benefits the art world. I am also passionate about promoting spiritual art. I’m thankful that many art clubs are giving us a good opportunity to move forward from Oneness to the wider community, working with like-minded individuals with same passion and enthusiasm.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How do you see your role in helping build communities and creating a better world?</h3>



<p>Local community work and global projects have inspired me to give back to the society that has nurtured me. I believe it’s our responsibility to contribute and inspire others, just as I have been inspired.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>All these experiences show us how to transform not just our projects but our lives. As we move forward, let us remember that each of us has the power to impact our communities positively. Together, through the collective power of our loving kindness and good wishes, we can create an environment where creativity flourishes, where everyone feels valued, and where peace becomes our shared reality.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Meanwhile, I’m working with NGOs, and at wellbeing centres and meditation centres as an energy healer and also doing card/number reading, all of which have enriched my life and personal purposes. Let us continue to inspire one another and work together toward a better world.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How important is the United Nations’ Fair Pay Foundation project to you?</h3>



<p>Working with the United Nations on initiatives like the Fair Pay Foundation has shown me how collaboration across cultures and borders can yield transformative results for humanity. These experiences are mind-opening, revealing the vast and intricate tapestry of the human story. They remind us that culture lives not only in grand gestures but in everyday life – business, spirituality, art, smiles and the shared dreams that feed our souls.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>My own transformation through this journey has been so profound that I feel compelled to share it with everyone.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What was your reaction to the news that you would get a peace award from the United Nations?</h3>



<p>I feel humble and incredibly honoured to have recently received a UN Peace Award. This is the 80th anniversary of the UN, so it’s especially meaningful to accept this award.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>This moment is deeply personal for me. I want to extend my gratitude to all the mentors, friends and global leaders who have guided and supported me along this journey. Their wisdom and encouragement have shaped my life. Every path I walk, every experience I share with partners and colleagues from all walks of life has been a lesson in humility, empathy and awe.</p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As we move forward, let us remember that each of us has the power to impact our communities positively. Together, we can create an environment where creativity flourishes and where everyone feels valued. Let us continue to inspire one another and work towards a more peaceful world.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What are your goals for the future?</h3>



<p>My main goal is to build and support something of lasting value. This could be through offering meditation classes to support the Hong Kong Cancer Fund or via mentorship and healing programmes, as well as working through NGOs, and supporting schools and universities with the Oneness team and Fun Fun Foundation.</p>



<p>My primary goal remains focused on working with global talents in art, creating art shows that promote a vision of positive living and wellbeing, and exploring the art of happiness and spiritual ambience.</p>



<p>I love Hong Kong and embrace the different cultural and religious backgrounds of people. I’m especially supportive of women, and a passionate advocate for the Wellbeing economy, ESG standards in business, and the UN’s International Fair Pay initiative.</p>
