Two weeks ago we attended the Affordable Art Fair HK at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) and enjoyed a couple hours, viewing art works for sale this past weekend. Artwork were priced from HK$100,000 and below.

Entrance fee on the day was HK$165 per person. As with past exhibitions attended at HKCEC, there are early bird discounts for advanced online ticket purchase by way of UrbTix and Hong Kong Ticketing websites.

This year the Affordable Art Fair was pretty good, like it has been the past several years. There was nice range international artists and art galleries from the US, UK, Australia, Japan, Korea and here in Hong Kong showcasing a wide variety of mostly contemporary artworks.

We find the gallery reps and artists are quite eager to talk about the pieces at this particular fair. This can be enjoyable if you want to know more about the artists and the works. It is a low (no) pressure environment, if anything the scene if more engaging than intimidating for potential buyers and just fun for browsers.

It was a good fair again this year, something fun to do for those who enjoy viewing art. Watch this this event again next May if you are interested in art and visiting at that time.
