Urban Paintmob

Urban Paintmob was founded in 2005 after an experimental act to create a birthday painting party by our founders Ms. Christine Wang and Mr. Howard Tseng. At that historic and cheerful party, the guests just simply loved it! Christine and Howard then started to run painting parties in some chic venues that were kindly provided by our patrons. Suddenly they would turn an old abandoned factory into a live gallery, or transformed a shopping mall entrance into a slow-life performance stage. These activities were treasured by a lot of expats working here as an alternative lifestyle amid their busy metropolitan life. The movement was getting a momentum. Finally, Urban Paintmob was officially created.

We love the word “mob” because it can represent us correctly: We are a group of people coming from all walks of life, joining together due to a common belief and going to “raid” different places with colourful paint!

在一次充满实验性的画画生日派对后，都市画会在2005年由曾韦豪先生(Howard Tseng)和王仁志小姐(Christine Wang)成立。出席该生日派对的嘉宾对当天的安排非常喜欢，随后Howard和Christine开始在朋友们慷慨借出的型格场地上，举行不同形式的画画派对。有时候，他们会把一个老厂房变成一个即兴画廊，又忽然把一个购物中心的门口变成一种慢生活的舞台。这些活动在这个繁忙的大都会中，提供了另一种生活方式，深受很多在沪工作的异乡人所欢迎。这些慢慢的就像一股运动般动起来。终于，都市画画正式成立了。

我们非常喜欢“mob”（乌合之众）这个字，它非常代表了我们的“成分”！一群来自五湖四海的人，因为一个共同的信念聚在一起，使用不同色彩的颜料去“突击”不同的地方！
