Though Art Basel is the main event, here’s what else not to miss this Art Week.
Art Central
This annual art fair has established itself as an independent sister event to Art Basel and an integral part of Art Week, offering a different exhibition experience with its location on the Central Harbourfront. From March 26 to 30, Art Central will feature 108 galleries from around the world, as well as a range of interactive experiences and culinary offerings.
These include Studio Central: a unique concept that involves artist and architect Maggie Chu, installation artist Tung Wing Hong, and Boloho, an artist collective based in Guangzhou. Each will set up their own art studio at the Studio Central booth, granting guests a first-hand look at their creative process as they draw inspiration from the landmarks and scenery, as well as their personal connection to Hong Kong’s neighbourhoods.
United Overseas Bank (UOB), Art Central’s lead partner for 2025, also has much in store for the exhibition, including an exclusive ink art installation by local artist Tony Ng Kwun-lun; a 2024 UOB Art in Ink Awards winners’ showcase; and Cloudtopia, where participants can create their own cloud-inspired artwork.
