The 9th edition of Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong (AAF) is returning to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in August! Expect to see thousands of contemporary artworks from over 60 local and international galleries and exhibitors, of which over 50 of them are from Hong Kong.
Young Talent Hong Kong x Next Gen
Curated by Jonathan Jay Lee, Affordable Art Fair’s Young Talent Hong Kong x Next Gen project provides a platform for young and emerging artists in Hong Kong to display their works to a more diverse audience of galleries, art buyers, and collectors. Surrounding the theme “Welcome to the Zoo”, artworks by 26 emerging local artists will be exhibited. Participating artists include Steven John Ho, Kristy Hon, and more.
Special project with large-scale installations
One of the spotlight programmes at the Affordable Art Fair is the Special Project with artists from different fields. Artists Jonathan Jay Lee, Amber Ng, Sophia Hotung, and Yihong Hsu have specifically created the large-scale installations for AAF, inspired by the people and everyday life in Hong Kong.
Cross-organisation art collaboration
Affordable Art Fair partners with different creative units and non-profit organisations every year. For 2022, AAF has invited ARTube Store, The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC), Keenable Creation, and Raze to promote the democratisation of art in Hong Kong and boost the local art ecosystem together.
Family-friendly art experiences
To foster a better understanding of the arts among young people, and to help enhance mental wellbeing through art, Affordable Art Fair is collaborating with different organisations to organise a series of family-friendly art therapy workshops, educational art tours, and on-site family photo-taking services. Participating organisations include The Hong Kong Association of Art Therapists (HKAAT), Art Loop, and Venture Studios.
