Hong Kong ArtWalk 2013 will be held on Thursday, 18 April 2013 between 4.30pm to 11.30pm. Now in its 13th year and Hong Kong’s premier charity art event, ArtWalk participants purchase a ticket allowing entry to Hong Kong galleries on ArtWalk Night to view artwork, and enjoy a sociable night of wine and food hosted by each gallery.
Says ArtWalk Organiser and art critic, John Batten. “On ArtWalk Night, participants join the city’s most exciting night of art in Hong Kong’s galleries, while walking and meeting new friends and seeing Extra art installations around the city’s streets. This year, the energy of ArtWalk will continue into the newly inaugurated Hong Kong Gallery Week – a week of talks and events running 19-27 April 2013.”
