Art lovers are in for a treat as the Affordable Art Fair is making its way back to Hong Kong for its seventh edition. Lucky seven indeed as this year’s fair is promising collectors and art appreciators alike the opportunity to experience exciting new artists, a fresh programme and interactive events.
Taking place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the fair is bound to have plenty of room for exploring your preferred aesthetic styles and, perhaps, a new-found appreciation for some niche genres. Not to be forgotten is the knowledgeable staff on hand, ready to encourage educational conversations about the pieces displayed and art as a whole. It’ll be pretty difficult to go home empty-handed from this fair that promises everything exclusive objet d’art at affordable, accessible prices.
New to the programme this year is the immersive Creative Hub which will focus on expressive art and mental well-being, those with little ones can rejoice as it’s open to the whole family. Indeed, everyone is encouraged to take part in the fair’s wishing tree, poetry workshop, mindful colouring and so much more!
The designers of the Creative Hub are composed of a team of art therapists, partners from Sovereign Art Foundation and Mind HK. Together they hope to stimulate conversations between family and friends about how art can play a role in fostering mindfulness, leading to new forms of expression and understanding.
For those wanting to find out more about how they can incorporate art into their daily lives, best stick around for the University of the Arts London’s talk that is sure to be an enriching experience.
