Hong Kong Affordable Art Fair closes with record attendance

News this week: The second edition of Affordable Art Fair Hong Kong concluded with record visitor number last month at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Running from 21st to 23rd March, Affordable Art Fair in Hong Kong attracted more than 29,000 visitors this year, up from 15,000 in 2013.

Exhibit categories ranged from photography, prints, and sculptures to painting. This year, more than 120 local and international exhibitors attended the three-day show. The Affordable Art Fair is held in various cities around the world, including New York, London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Mexico City, Toronto, Singapore, Hamburg, Maastricht, Milan, Stockholm, and Bristol.

Will Ramsay, the founder of Affordable Art Fair, said, “The second fair in Hong Kong saw unprecedented success in the company’s history, it was a great success both for galleries and their artists, and our local Hong Kong visitors – in fact, this has been our best attended fair ever, overtaking the record of 25,000 visitors set by our flagship fair in Battersea London.”
