First Art021 Hong Kong art fair spread across multiple locations with extended programme
- The inaugural Art021 fair will now run from August 28 to September 8 and will be in four locations to reflect its extended programme
The previously announced Art021 Hong Kong art fair, initially slated for July, has been rescheduled to start later this summer and with an expanded programme that includes an outdoor sculpture exhibition.
The inaugural fair has been hotly discussed in the city’s art sector since news that the mainland Chinese company behind Art021 in Shanghai and Jingart in Beijing is moving into Hong Kong after scrapping its three-year-old DnA Design and Art Fair in nearby Shenzhen.
Art021 Hong Kong, which will have 60 to 70 participants, is now set for August 28 to September 8, 2024 and it will no longer be held under one roof at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Instead, it will be split between four locations.
The main fair venue is the Asia-Pacific headquarters of auction house Phillips in the West Kowloon Cultural District, which will house gallery booths on two floors from August 29 to September 1.
