The best things to see and do during Hong Kong Arts Month

As is the case during Arts Month each year, local and international artists will gather to give our streets a colourful makeover with various street art pieces and murals. Last year’s edition featured artists such as Maye, Jaune, Michal Škapa, Hong Kong’s own elusive Lousy, and more. The striking murals along Tai Ping Shan’s Rich View Terrace and Wa In Fong in Sheung Wan created a few editions ago are still some of our favourite public art pieces in the city. The murals are available for all to view on our streets, but HKwalls usually also hosts a lineup of digital art displays, workshops, panel discussions, and other events, so keep an eye out!

Art Central is back as one of Hong Kong’s Art Month highlights – and this year’s edition is particularly special as it is their 10th anniversary. Hit up their specially designed tent at Central Harbourfront to find a host of new programmes such as a sector dedicated to established artists born before 1970; Duo Projects, which pairs together the works of artists for deeper understanding on their art pieces; a specially curated host of video programmes, and brand-new lecture-performances. This year also sees the inclusion of some big names in the art world, such as Ay-O, Dean-E Mei, May Fung, and more.
