Hong Kong ArtWalk 2014 will be held on Wednesday, 12 March 2014 between 4.30pm to 11.30pm. Now in its 14th year and Hong Kong’s premier charity art event, ArtWalk participants purchase a ticket allowing entry to Hong Kong galleries on ArtWalk Night to view artwork, and enjoy a sociable night of wine and food hosted by each gallery.

ArtWalk is a charity event and a donation is raised from ticket sales. A total of HK$5.5 million has been distributed to Hong Kong charities since 2001. Last year, ArtWalk saw 1,200 participants. This year’s benefiting charity is the Society for Community Organization (SoCO) – ArtWalk’s donation will benefit their pro-active community work, original social policy research and advocacy work. See the SoCO website for further details: www.soco.org.hk

Says ArtWalk Organiser and art critic, John Batten. “Join the energy of ArtWalk! For one night, Immerse yourself in Hong Kong’s art scene by walking and visiting Hong Kong’s leading galleries, meeting new friends and viewing additional art installations along the city’s streets. This year we encourage participants to visit Aberdeen and its rising arts district by offering a cheaper ticket option.”

Tickets, priced at HK$400 (adults); $150 (tertiary students); HK$280 (adults; visiting Aberdeen & Wong Chuk Hang galleries only), will be available from galleries situated along Hollywood Road and Wyndham Street.
