Shanghai Art Fair ART021 is Coming to Hong Kong for the First Time This Summer
Art021, founded as part of the Shanghai International Art Festival in 2013, is set to redefine the traditional fair model in Hong Kong this 2024.
Art021 was founded by three Business entrepreneurs: Kylie Ying, Bao Yifeng, and David Chau. The group has established three international art fairs held in Mainland China, including Art021 in Shanghai, Jingart in Beijing, and DnA in Shenzhen. The first of the three festivals, Art021, has always succeeded in bringing together Asian art circles. On 7-10 November, 2024, the 12th Art021 Contemporary Art Fair will take place at Shanghai Exhibition Centre.

Putting DnA Shenzhen on hold, the group will now focus on Art021 Hong Kong instead, as it receives some financial support from the government’s Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund. The main differentiation from the more globally renowned counterparts, Art Basel and Art Central Hong Kong, this upcoming event emphasises small galleries from Mainland China, the Middle East, and the Global South.
“Western artists are well received by collectors in China, but the reception of Chinese artists in the more traditional art markets in America or Europe has not been as enthusiastic,” says David Chau.
Chau also added that the group aims to redefine the traditional art fair blueprint by having lots of public installations and exhibitions across the city. There will also be no pre-event political content reviews like in the mainland version.
Art021 will arrive in Hong Kong this summer, most likely in July, as an invitation-only fair.
