Mr. Dal-Seung Hwang, Chairman of the AHAF Hong Kong 2014 Operation Committee said, “The Asia Hotel Art Fair Committee is grateful to have contributed to the development of Hong Kong as Asia’s major hub. The AHAF Committee further wishes to develop by moving away from the Central area, where most of the art scene and cultural happenings are currently concentrated, to Tsim Sha Tsui, seeking to broaden the spectrum and improve diversity by attracting diverse groups of art collectors and engage a new pool of the public. In the coming years, we hope to broaden our audience and further strengthen AHAF’s position as one of the leading art fairs in Asia.”
