Hong Kong’s vibrant “Super March” initiative invites both locals and tourists to explore a dynamic array of events this month, featuring world-class art fairs, festivals, auctions, and more. Among the highlights is a special tribute to the artistry of the late Filipino artist Pacita Abad, alongside major exhibitions and global pop culture events.
The renowned Art Basel Hong Kong will take place from March 28 to 30 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, bringing together 240 galleries from 42 countries.
One of the key features is the presentation of works by Pacita Abad, known for her bold and expressive pieces addressing socio-political themes. Abad’s art will be showcased in the “Encounters” sector, which features large-scale installations from artists around the world. In addition, Abad’s works will also be on display at Silverlens and Tina Kim Gallery.
Filipino artists Soler and Luis Antonio Santos will also present their works at Art Basel through the Manila-based gallery The Drawing Room. Their complementary pieces—abstract art by Soler and photorealistic works by Luis Antonio—highlight the diverse talent emerging from the Philippines.
This March, Hong Kong will also celebrate the 10th anniversaries of Art Central (March 26 to 30) and the HKwalls Street Art Festival (March 22 to 30). The latter will transform the streets with murals, exhibitions, and community workshops. Additionally, ComplexCon (March 21 to 23), a global pop culture festival, will return for its second year in Hong Kong, featuring performances by K-pop group NJZ and hip-hop producer Metro Boomin.
Two of the city’s world-class museums, M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum, will host major exhibitions this month. Notable shows include Picasso for Asia—A Conversation (March 15 to July 13) featuring over 60 Picasso masterpieces, and Guernica in Sand by Lee Mingwei (March 8 to July 13), a large-scale installation inspired by Picasso’s iconic painting.
The Hong Kong Museum of Art also presents Cézanne and Renoir Looking at the World (Jan 17–May 7), the first major exhibit in Asia dedicated to the French Impressionists. Meanwhile, top auction houses Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and Bonhams will host spring sales, rounding out a month of unparalleled art offerings.
Super March also includes sports events and the opening of Kai Tak Sports Park, which will host major events like Coldplay’s concert in April and the Hong Kong Sevens.
