Hong Kong is known as a vibrant arts and culture hub, but when the spring rolls around, it’s really something else.
March marks Arts Month in Hong Kong, and during this time, the city turns into a playground for artists and art enthusiasts from around the globe. From top-tier events to colourful street art and galleries galore, it’s the place to be for enthusiastic art lovers.
The best way to see it all is with Hong Kong’s art-themed tour. This tour package includes visits to art attractions in Hong Kong during Arts Month – such as the M+ Museum and the Hong Kong Palace Museum — and, of course, some of the best events. You’ll also get airfare from Canada with Cathay Pacific, a five-star hotel stay, transportation, and meals (including dining at Michelin-starred restaurants!). All you need to do is bring your love for art and let the magic unfold.
But however you choose to explore Arts Month in Hong Kong, one thing’s for sure, it’s an experience you can’t miss.
So, here are 3 essential events to put on your radar.
Art Basel is one of the region’s biggest and most anticipated annual art events, bringing together both established artists and new emerging talent from Asia and beyond. Galleries from all over the world will participate, showcasing paintings, sculptures, photography, installations, digital art, film, and more.
The art fair is divided into several sectors, each with a specific focus. Previous highlights included Kabinett for thematic solo presentations by modern and contemporary artists, and Encounters for large-scale works. Stay tuned as 2025 details are confirmed & see more from past shows here.
When: Friday, March 28th – Sunday, March 30th
Where: Venue to be announced soon
Art Central presents a huge array of artwork and programming from some of Asia’s most innovative galleries, as well as international artists and speakers.
The setting of the event itself is pretty iconic – all of the action takes place in a pop-up, architect-designed, and purpose-built structure on the Central Harbourfront, overlooking the beautiful Victoria Harbour.
The 2025 programme promises to challenge the boundaries of contemporary art and its mediums. Expect lots of experimentation through awe-inspiring sculptures, installations, video art, artist talks, interactive performances, and more.
When: Wednesday March 26th – Monday, March 30th
Where: Central Harbourfront
As the city’s biggest annual performing arts event, The Hong Kong Arts Festival always has so much to offer – and 2025 will be no exception.
Witness T.S. Eliot’s classic novel be told through hip-hop dance in The Waste Land by Amsterdam Sinfonietta, see some of Mozart’s most-loved music brought to life by Sir András Schiff and Capella Andrea Barca, or check out Nagauta and Geisha: Treasure Traditions of Japan to learn all about the fascinating history of geisha.
Opera (or fashion) fan? Don’t miss Georges Bizet’s Carmen, which features costumes and sets in the same original designs from when it premiered in Paris in 1875!
