Also known as a world class “Arts Hub”, Hong Kong is gearing up to entice the international arts-lovers with a broad spectrum of arts and arts related activities as a part of ‘Hong Kong Arts Month’.

As a part of this initiative Hong Kong’s flourishing arts scene aims to fruition this March with an inspirational spectrum of events. From opera to ballet, from art installations to seminars, there’s something to suit all tastes — whether you’re a connoisseur or simply a dabbler.

Aside from enjoying exhibitions and performances, travelers during this month will be able to stroll around town to discover beauty and creativity out in the open, hop off the MTR at Central Station to find artwork and performances by local artists and make way towards the Hollywood Road to see heritage sites and architecture of ‘old’ Hong Kong, as well as galleries of every genre. The city’s south side too, will see creative spaces popping up in industrial buildings, all within walking distance.

From a downtown street lined with heritage sites to industrial buildings housing innovative galleries, Hong Kong Arts Month promises to be a delight for international Art Lovers with South Island Cultural District becoming a perfect cradle for not only experiential artwork but also independent restaurants and non-profit studios.
