The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC; Chinese: 賽馬會創意藝術中心) is a multi-disciplinary artist village and arts centre in Shek Kip Mei, Hong Kong, housed in a converted nine-storey factory estate. It is dedicated to supporting artist development and promoting arts and culture to the public. A wide variety of art practices are represented at JCCAC, especially those in the visual arts.
JCCAC was established through collaboration with strategic partners the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC), and the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC), and is a self-financed subsidiary of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU). Conversion of the building was funded by the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust which was given the naming rights, and was supported by the Home Affairs Bureau. (now replaced by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau). The JCCAC officially opened on 26 September 2008 as a self-financed registered charity.
