With over 20,000 people already pre-registered, it's clear that this is a must-see event for art enthusiasts.
Hong Kong is a powerhouse in the global art market, with a total trade value of approximately $105.5 billion. This makes it one of the top three art trading centers in the world.

The fair strengthens the city’s role as a hub for East-West art exchange and aims to highlight galleries from the Global South.
This year’s fair introduces a fresh format, with projects spread across multiple iconic venues in Hong Kong:
- Galleries: West Kowloon
