EVENT DESCRIPTION
Art Central, together with Lead Partner UOB, today announced details of its eleventh edition, to be held from 25 to 29 March 2026, with a VIP Preview on 24 March. The Fair will feature the curatorial leadership of Enoch Cheng and Zoie Yung and launch Central Stage, a platform celebrating artists who have recently received institutional recognition.
Firmly rooted in its commitment to Hong Kong’s arts ecosystem while engaging audiences globally, the Fair—a cornerstone of the city’s annual Art Month—returns to the iconic Central Harbourfront with a dynamic presentation of contemporary artworks and curated programmes from pioneering local and regional galleries, alongside mid career and established artists from across Asia and beyond.
With 20% of its presentations featuring Hong Kong-based artists and galleries, and 75% representing the broader Asia Pacific region, the Fair serves as a vital platform for collectors and art enthusiasts to encounter and acquire works that embody the region’s remarkable creativity and diversity.
Looking ahead with renewed purpose, Corey Andrew Barr, Fair Director of Art Central, shared that “Art Central opens its next chapter with intent and urgency, a platform where new artistic voices meet a shifting global conversation. Central Stage deepens this vision by spotlighting artists at defining moments in their practice, bringing institutional recognition and gallery presentation into the same arena to spark new encounters between Hong Kong, Asia, and the international art scene. The Fair celebrates the bonds between artists, galleries, and audiences, fostering a sense of kinship that empowers collectors and visitors to support the art community while pushing the discourse of contemporary art forward from Hong Kong to the world.”
