As one of the central events of Hong Kong’s Art Week, Art Central 2024 will open to the public on Thursday, marking a return to the Central Harbourfront for the first time since 2019.
The annual art fair is celebrating its ninth edition showcasing artwork and programming from 98 innovative galleries, with works by 500 distinguished artists from around the world.
The fair opens to the public on Thursday, March 29, and will run until Sunday at the Central Harbourfront.
This year’s programme was extended to be “the largest and most dynamic” since its introduction in 2015, the fair said in a statement. Over one-third of galleries are joining for the first time.
70 per cent of the galleries are from across the Asia Pacific region, with nearly a third operating spaces in Hong Kong. Art Central saw the “strongest-ever” representation of artists from mainland China, according to the statement.
Visitors can also take part in a comprehensive art education programme which includes talks, tours, and workshops.
