Event Category:
,

Come join us for HKAGA’s second event of the year – an informal gathering featuring a talk by Mr. William Lim, who will share with us details of one of his upcoming projects 76-82 Queen’s Road Central due by 2016/2017.  The new building, commissioned by the local developer Henderson Land, will be located between Pottinger Street and Queen’s Road Central.

Mr. William Lim and a representative from Henderson Land will discuss the nature of the building, the origin of the idea of the project and the perspective of its usage.  The building is in fact conceived as an art building, an atelier with a selected number of floor spaces of around 4000sqf each, to be offered to galleries and/or art initiatives.  The remaining floors will be offered to restaurants and retail shops.

Mr. Lim would like to open a discussion with Hong Kong gallery representatives to examine the requirements of such a building from a gallery point of view, when considering this venue as a potential location to improve their business.  The conversation will be led by Mr. Lim and will be open to the floor.

Our gathering will take place at Mr. William Lim’s studio in Wong Chuk Hang.  Due to limited capacity, please confirm your attendance as soon as possible.
