Collect Hong Kong: Celebrating Art in March 2025
Solely organised and presented by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC), Collect Hong Kong 2025 will be held from 22 March to 4 April 2025 at the Pao Galleries and Jockey Club Atrium in the Hong Kong Arts Centre. This flagship event is supported by the Hong Kong Art School (HKAS), the new team of the HKAS Alumni Networks Committee, and other invited art institutions and art galleries.
Building upon the success of the Collectible Art Fair in 2023, Collect Hong Kong has been created to support the burgeoning wave of artistic talent and heighten mass appreciation for the work of local artists. This biennial event showcases innovative art in diverse media to highlight the creative breadth of students and alumni from invited art institutions and provide a platform for artists, galleries, and art enthusiasts to connect and collaborate. Overseeing the artwork selection process will be an independent curator and a jury panel.
With Collect Hong Kong’s unprecedented championing of homegrown virtuosity, visitors will enjoy an enriching and truly unparalleled art experience. The event will feature works from emerging talents to established artists, catering to the diverse interests of art collectors and enthusiasts.
Through this initiative, HKAC aims to solidify Hong Kong as a vibrant hub for art and culture, whilst promoting the city's unique East-meets-West artistic identity. Collect Hong Kong 2025 promises to be an exciting celebration of the community’s thriving art scene, fostering meaningful connections and inspiring new artistic dialogues.
