Gallery News: Art Walk

It’s that time of year to eat, drink, and be merry. The 8th annual Hong Kong Art Walk is almost upon us.  From tomorrow, participants will be able to nibble delights and enjoy the fruits of many an artists’ labor as they walk or stumble,  as the case may be, from Central to Sheung Wan to Happy Valley and more, all in the name of charity.  As the largest charity art event in Hong Kong, this year sees an increase in participation of galleries from 50 to 55, and there is an extra bonus as installation displays, video and more of the ilk will be displayed on the street as one traverses galleries.  Proceeds from the Art Walk will go to SoCO, a non-profit whose mission is to “establish an equal society and to build a strong power base for the people”. Now, that’s hot.
