Message from Chairman of the Board of Governors, HKAC 香港藝術中心監督團主席

歡迎大家到臨：「Collect Hong Kong 2025」。

 

推動香港藝術中心勇闖更高層次，一直是我心中所想。故乘著「藝術三月」的到來，香港藝術中心把握機會舉辦這個大型藝術博覽「Collect Hong Kong」，成為「藝術三月」的注目藝術盛事之一，亦是唯一一個在「藝術三月」專注推廣本地藝術家的大型活動。同時，這個藝術博覽亦正好配合特區政府的藝術、文化和創意產業發展藍圖。

 

藍圖強調整合文化、體育和旅遊，以市場為本，推動藝術及創意產業發展，讓香港成為中西文化交流的樞紐，這與香港藝術中心的使命一致。「Collect Hong Kong」是2023年「The Collectible Art Fair」成功的延伸，旨在幫助本地藝術家拓展國際市場，促進文化及藝術發展。

 

是次藝術博覽匯聚了香港頂尖藝術院校的超過300位本地藝術家參與，展出作品接近350件，作品水平之高，絕對叫人嘆為觀止。活動不僅促進藝術家交流，還將吸引市民和遊客參與，展示香港中西藝術融合的獨有魅力，提升公眾對本地藝術的欣賞，豐富香港的文化氛圍。

 

這個大型活動得以成功舉行，在此衷心感謝各界鼎力參與，為本港藝壇出一分力。期望未來，香港藝術中心能為本地及海外的藝術愛好者舉辦更多大型活動，促進文化多樣性，以及創意轉型，令香港成為最美麗的藝術之都。

Welcome everyone to "Collect Hong Kong 2025."

I have always aspired to propel Hong Kong Arts Centre to soar new heights. With the arrival of "Art March," the HKAC seized the opportunity to hold this large-scale art fair and make it one of "Art March" highlight events as well as the only major event focused on promoting local artists. ”Collect Hong Kong” also aligns perfectly with the government's blueprint for the development of arts, culture and creative industries.

The blueprint emphasises the integration of culture, sports and tourism, focusing on market-driven growth to advance the arts and creative industries to solidify Hong Kong as a hub for East-meets-West cultural exchange. This mission is very much consistent with that of the Hong Kong Arts Centre. "Collect Hong Kong" is a successful extension of 2023’s "The Collectible Art Fair" aimed at helping local artists expand into international markets and promoting cultural and artistic development.

This art fair brings together over 300 local artists from Hong Kong's top art institutions and showcases around 350 creations. The quality of the artwork is truly breathtaking. The event not only fosters exchange among artists but also attracts participation from citizens and tourists. It spotlights the unique charm of the fusion of Eastern and Western arts in Hong Kong, enhancing public appreciation for local art and enriching Hong Kong's cultural vibe.

The success of this large-scale event would not have been possible without strong support from all sectors. We sincerely thank everyone for their contributions to the local art scene. Looking ahead, we hope that the Hong Kong Arts Centre can host more large scale events for art enthusiasts both locally and abroad, promoting cultural diversity and creative transformation as we shape Hong Kong to be the most beautiful capital of arts.
