Hong Kong’s Art Central will be back there in March

Art Central is back for another year, just in time for the holidays! The fair is expected to be larger and better than ever this year with the recent relaxation of travel restrictions in Hong Kong. We’ve got all the information on Art Central 2023, which will feature over 300 artists and over 70 galleries in a multicultural celebration of all things art.

What you need to know about this year’s festival, which will be held from March 22 to March 25 at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, is available online on the Art Central website.

Returning to the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Art Central will include a larger selection of galleries and a dynamic four-day schedule that will include panel discussions, large-scale interactive installations, experimental films, and performances.

Central Galleries, Curated Booths, and Solo Presentations are the three categories in which the fair’s gallery presentations will be displayed. The big installations and spatial interventions from last year will also be back in 2023; the projects will be unveiled soon.

The New York-based gallery MARC STRAUS will be included in one of Lifestyle Asia’s most eagerly awaited shows. Anne Samat’s Pua Kumbu weavings, Antonio Santin’s hyper-realistic ornamental rug paintings, and Ulf Puder’s semi-abstract architectural paintings will all be on display at the fair.
