HONG KONG TATLER


THE AUDIENCE: Timed to coincide with Hong Kong Art Week, and attracting over 35,000 people, Art Central pulls in the best of the international art crowd, from collectors and curators to critics and museum professionals, who consider this week an unmissable event in the global art calendar.

THE LOCATION: Hong Kong is well known as the gateway between East and West. With Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Manila and Taipei all less than five hours away by plane, Hong Kong is an essential business hub for greater Asia. As a result, Hong Kong has established itself as a global art centre, where collectors from all over the world gather.

THE GROWTH OF ASIA: As the cultural and commercial centre of the Asian contemporary art market, Hong Kong provides direct access to a growing number of HNWI, allowing galleries to build relationships in a region promising fantastic growth.

THE ART SCENE: The well established collector base in Hong Kong and across the region provide the foundation for a thriving gallery scene. World-class local and international galleries make up the 60+ member strong Hong Kong Gallery Association, having opened to take advantage of the growing Asian market. Hong Kong is also home to important not-for-profit spaces such as Para Site and MILL6 Foundation, the cross-disciplinary residency and exhibition space, Spring Workshop, and the renowned Asia Art Archive. These non-profit spaces help set the stage for M+, the ambitious new museum designed by Herzog & de Meuron, due to open in 2019. A cornerstone of the ambitious West Kowloon Cultural District Project, M+ is Hong Kong’s new museum for visual culture, encompassing 20th and 21st - century art, design and architecture, and moving image from Hong Kong, China, Asia and beyond. The transformation of the Central Police Station Compound and the Former Police Married Quarters on Hollywood Road into spaces for residencies, galleries, studios and other commercial art ventures bring further vibrancy to Hong Kong’s cultural landscape.

THE 0% TAX RATE: There is no tax on the import or export of art in Hong Kong, nor is there any tax on the sale of art.

THE EASE OF BUSINESS: One of the busiest ports in the world, Hong Kong is known for its efficiency. Because there is no tax on the import or export of art, shipments clear customs and reach their destinations quickly. The fusion of Western and Asian influences create a comfortable place for people of all backgrounds to do business.

THE LIFESTYLE: A truly cosmopolitan city, Hong Kong boasts thousands of restaurants to suit all tastes, from Michelin starred fine dining to vibrant street food. Known for their five-star service, some of the finest hotels in the world welcome guests to Hong Kong—more than 56 million tourists visited in 2016. With a range of bars, clubs, shops and galleries to match the luxury dining and hotels, Hong Kong is a city that begs to be explored.

CONSIDERED THE MEETING POINT BETWEEN EAST AND WEST, HONG KONG IS THE CULTURAL CENTRE OF THE

ASIAN CONTEMPORARY ART MARKET AND THE OBVIOUS CHOICE FOR GALLERIES WHO WANT TO PROMOTE

THEIR ARTISTS AND BUILD NETWORKS IN THE REGION AND BEYOND.
