If it’s time to get something new up on your walls, then March is the best time to do it. In Hong Kong, March is when the city embraces its artistic side, with lots of big name events, gallery exhibitions, and opportunities to explore both the local and international art scene. Regardless of whether you’re just a regular ol’ Cheapo who doesn’t have a clue about art, or someone who is a seasoned art buyer, rest assured you’ll find lots of artsy events to pique your interest. You’ll be glad to know, tickets for these signature events are quite reasonable. Pro tip: Check out our master guide to Hong Kong's best arts events. Art Basel A huge three-day event with exhibitions from the world’s leading modern and contemporary art galleries, about half of which are from the Asia Pacific region. Art Central With close to 40,000 collectors, curators and art fans attending in 2018, this popular event features more than 100 international galleries, a number of which debut works created specially for this event. Hong Kong Arts Festival And don’t forget, the month-long Hong Kong Arts Festival also marks its return. With an impressive lineup of theatre, dance, opera, music, you’ll find a wide variety of shows ranging from the traditional to the modern, with orchestras, jazz, ballet, world music, and lots more. ComplexCon Hong Kong Step into the dynamic world of ComplexCon, where culture, style, and innovation collide. This groundbreaking event brings together creators, influencers, and brands at the forefront of fashion, music, art, and technology. Although ComplexCon has been taking place in the United States since 2016, 2024 marked its first foray into Asia, and it's been going strong ever since. HKWALLS Launched in 2014, this festival has steadily expanded from a handful of neighbourhoods to a citywide celebration of contemporary urban art. Beyond the murals themselves, HKWALLS usually includes exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, film screenings and guided street art tours. While the exact locations change each year, past murals have popped up in districts such as Central, Sheung Wan, Sham Shui Po and Wan Chai. Some artworks are temporary, others linger for years -- as you may have noticed while walking the city streets. This post was originally published in March, 2019. Last update in February 2026.
