Event Details
In the past few years, Hong Kong has bolstered its standing on the global arts stage with the introduction of the next generation of venues representing the city's cultural landscape. After years of Covid hibernation, Hong Kong's thriving arts scene returned with a flourish with the return of a full scale Art Basel and a series of high profile museum shows ranging from Yayoi Kusama to Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London.
As Chairman of Hong Kong's M+ Museum, Board Vice Chairman of West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, former Chairman of the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and newly appointed Chairman of the Our Hong Kong Foundation, Bernard Chan has been instrumental in laying out the vision for Hong Kong evolving arts and culture ecosystem to reclaim its spot as Asia's arts and culture hub where East meets West.
Join us at the Liang Yi Museum for a special conversation with Bernard Chan about the future of Hong Kong as a top regional and global arts and cultural destination through the formation of the West Kowloon Cultural District and its development over the years. Learn more about Hong Kong's need to create a "Silicon Valley of Culture" to preserve and pass on local traditions, cultures and arts through the integration of government and the arts, business and local communities it serves.
*Following the talk, there will be guided tours of Liang Yi Museum's The Other Japan: Beyond Kimonos and Swords, an exclusive exhibition on Japanese decorative art from the Edo period to the early modern era.
