An art festival in one of Asia's leading international cities! Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2017 Report

Entered an art fair in Hong Kong, Asia's leading global city

From 2017/5/19 (Fri) to 21 (Sun), “Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2017” was held in Hong Kong, which is known as one of Asia's leading global cities.
The Affordable Art Fair, which is currently a hot topic all over the world, including NY, London, and Milan, started in 1999 in London, England, with the concept of “feeling closer to life with art and finding happiness in life through works.” By promoting affordable, which means “easy to reach” and “easy to buy,” it has developed art fairs that are open not only to some wealthy people, but also to a wide range of people around the world, and it has been well received.

Attractive content from around the world gathers in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is now known as one of the world's leading business hubs. Excellent human resources and capital are gathering from around the world, and while financial and IT-related industries continue to grow remarkably as an international city, in recent years, the government has put effort into developing artists with the aim of “Asian art hub urbanization,” and has also held many attractive art fairs and trade fairs, etc., and national efforts on arts and culture have been strengthened.

The venue for this art fair was the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Known for being the setting for the 1997 Hong Kong Return Ceremony, it is the second-largest complex conference and exhibition facility in Asia.
In addition to the Hong Kong Design Gallery, which introduces a wide range of the latest trends in Hong Kong, the center is also directly connected to the prestigious Grand Hyatt hotel.

In search of “art that colors our lives”

At Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong 2017, not only Asian players such as Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore, but also many high-quality galleries gathered from Western European countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Many people, regardless of nationality, age, or gender, visited the venue, which was crammed with works that over 1000 artists are proud of, and their eyes were dazzled by the variety of works.

While colorful and contemporary works captivated visitors one after another, popularity also concentrated on small, affordable works that fit the concept of “making life with art more familiar” and look great as interiors for each home.

Japan promotion booth recommended by the organizers

As international art works fill the venue, many creative works that shine through Japanese spirituality and aesthetic sense in creative expression are gathered at the Japan Promotion booth.
There were many voices of praise from visitors for its unique view of the world, which is traditional yet makes you feel the passion and sense of challenge hidden within.

Also, in the “Director's Pick Tour,” which picks up booths that the organizers themselves pay particular attention to from over 100 exhibition booths and introduces them to visitors in a tour format, the Japan Promotion Booth is introduced as one of the highlights. The appeal unique to Japanese art with a high degree of perfection, precision, and beauty received high praise not only from art fans but also from VIPs from various countries invited to the venue.

From Hong Kong to NY to the world

This exhibition was Japan Promotion's first memorable entry into an art fair in the Asian region.
In addition to Hong Kong, attention to affordable art fairs held in countries around the world, such as NY, London, Milan, Hamburg, Brussels, Seoul, and Singapore, is expected to grow more and more in the future.
