The fourth edition of Asian Art Hong Kong (AAHK), organized by Orientations magazine, will run from 1 – 9 April 2017 as a platform to share the best of Asian art in the city.

The week-long programme will include an exciting series of public events, including talks, tours and special exhibitions that highlight and promote the rich history and heritage of Asian art. Apart from bringing together professionals from across the globe for specialist talks and lectures, AAHK will lead discussions on the current trends in Asian art.
