Chai Wan Mei, the creative art and design festival held annually since 2012, proudly presents its third edition in 2014, gathering more than 60 artists, designers and creative professionals across 40 studios, and 3 performances, over a period of two days on the 16 & 17 May.

Co-organised by Platform China and 10 Chancery Lane Gallery— in conjunction with and supported by Art Basel Hong Kong — Chai Wan Mei is a much anticipated event in the Hong Kong art calendar attracting local and international visitors looking to escape the fair grounds for a few hours and explore Hong Kong’s grassroots arts scene beyond the Central district.

The festival is based in the industrial neighbourhood of Chai Wan, home to a unique and vibrant community of artists, designers, likened to New York’s Chelsea and recently awarded the Local Hero Award. This year’s edition brings together a rich program of Fine Art Exhibitions, Guerrilla Art Installations by cutting-edge artists in Public Spaces, Curated Designer Pop-up Village, Interactive Artist Performances, Artist and Curator talks, Designer Workshops, Book Launches, Open Studios late-night cocktails, and the Chai Wan Nites warehouse party (limited capacity RSVP essential), to celebrate the second edition of Art Basel Hong Kong and cement its new Asian identity within Hong Kong’s dynamic art hub.
