Local Leisure Tour — Yuet Wo Sauce Garden 3.0

Founded in 1945 by the Pong family from Foshan, Guangdong, Yuet Wo is one of Hong Kong's last surviving traditional sauce gardens with over 80 years of heritage. It is the only sauce garden in Hong Kong that owns its own wine-steaming facility, producing a full range of naturally brewed soy sauces, vinegars, wines, and condiments entirely in-house — a rarity in today's industrialised food landscape. Now led by its third-generation successor Jack, Yuet Wo has managed to strike a balance between preserving time-honoured brewing techniques and adapting to modern demands. The factory's sun-drying yard, where sauces are left to ferment and mature under natural sunlight, remains a centrepiece of its traditional production process. With land resumption looming over the factory site, this may be one of the last opportunities to experience Yuet Wo's iconic production floor up close. As part of the 'Local Leisure Tour' series, this guided visit invites participants to walk through the sauce garden's production line, learn about the history of Hong Kong's soy sauce industry, and hear the story of how one family has kept this craft alive across generations. Each participant will receive a complimentary Yuet Wo sauce product. Previous editions of the tour have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from the public, selling out quickly and drawing participants keen to connect with authentic Hong Kong food culture before it disappears.

A Chance Encounter with Gentle Light - Jimmy Liao 25th Anniversary Special Exhibition

Spanning over ten thousand days and twenty-five years, Jimmy Liao's works have connected with us through picture books, films, music, and various other forms—from the fateful crossings in 'Turn Left, Turn Right' to the imaginary journeys in 'The Underground' and the pursuit of longing in 'The View of Love'. These familiar images and words have become gentle imprints in many hearts. This March, Jimmy's gentle light will shine at Harbour City Gallery. Officially authorized by Jimmy Liao's brand and co-organized by Meizhi and Zuan & Pi, the Hong Kong exhibition 'A Chance Encounter with Gentle Light' centers around 'states of life' as its theme. The venue is divided into three areas, inviting visitors to explore Jimmy's world through flat surfaces, light and shadow, and three-dimensional installations, discovering their own life circumstances and emotional resonance. The exhibition design reflects three stages of life and employs various media to deliver unique sensory experiences. Relief techniques give the artworks a tangible warmth; glow-in-the-dark effects emerge subtly in darkness, resembling the flickering gentle light in our memories. A puzzle concept runs throughout—visitors can collect stamps from various parts of the gallery to complete a unique commemorative card. The exhibition will also launch a series of merchandise, including special edition vinyl figures, pin badge sets, eco-friendly bags, T-shirts, plastic standees, collectible cards, magnetic light boxes, and plush toys, allowing that gentle light to continue accompanying visitors in every corner of their daily lives.

THE ISLAND-ONIGASHIMA: Ayako Rokkaku Solo Exhibition

Landmark proudly presents Art LANDMARK, a new art experience featuring world-renowned artist Ayako Rokkaku in collaboration with GALLERY TARGET. This exhibition showcases her largest interactive art installation to date - "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA". As a highlight of Hong Kong Art March, the Landmark Atrium will be transformed into a vibrant, sensory art experience space from now until April 17, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in this enchanting and mysterious artistic island. Inspired by the Japanese folk tale "ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku drew connections between Hong Kong and Japan's shared island geography, incorporating elements from the Japanese fairy tale "Momotaro". The installation blurs the line between dreams and reality, artist and audience. The artwork, meticulously crafted with soft forms and various textured fabrics, reaches a height of six meters and creates a museum-like interactive zone. Visitors are encouraged to touch, feel, and even lean against the artwork, weaving their own artistic journey according to personal preferences. Inside the installation, there's a unique passage displaying 12 wooden sculptures for close viewing, with 11 paintings hidden around the art installation. These carefully selected treasures are non-commercial pieces, designed purely to create a layered art exploration experience. To celebrate the official unveiling of "THE ISLAND - ONIGASHIMA", Ayako Rokkaku performed a fascinating finger painting demonstration on site, allowing the audience to witness her signature characters and landscapes come to life as she applied paint directly with her hands, embodying her artistic philosophy of "connecting creation through intuition".

Air Giants 'Dreaming Cat World' @ West Kowloon Family FUN Arts Festival 2026

Three giant cats have landed at West Kowloon — and they're here to nap in style. What's better than one cat? Three! A family of oversized, slumbering feline sculptures has settled along the waterfront lawn of the West Kowloon Cultural District Art Park, curled up by Victoria Harbour in a dreamy, purring reverie. As they doze, their tails sway gently; give them a stroke and you'll feel a deep rumble and a soft heartbeat beneath the surface.

Bon A Petite Art Exhibition

Every 'Art March,' Hong Kong immerses itself in a rich artistic atmosphere. While public attention often focuses on large-scale art fairs with magnificent works, the often million-dollar large-scale masterpieces can intimidate newcomers to the art scene. Located in Sheung Wan, 13a New Street Art Gallery takes an alternative approach, launching the new group exhibition 'Bon A Petite' from March 19 to April 5, 2026 (Wednesday to Sunday), presenting small original works and limited edition art toys from eight contemporary artists, allowing art to integrate into daily life in a more accessible and warm manner. 'Bon A Petite' breaks the framework of high art thresholds. The exhibition's name plays on the French phrase for 'enjoy your meal,' inviting viewers to enjoy art with a relaxed mindset as if savoring fine cuisine. With 'Petite (small)' as the core concept, it brings together eight contemporary artists from Japan, New York, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong, featuring bite-sized, affordably priced originals and limited edition art toys. Curator Ruby Fung shares the concept: 'During major exhibitions like Art Basel, audiences are often overwhelmed by large-scale, high-priced works that are difficult to relate to. This exhibition deliberately selects finely detailed, reasonably priced works that not only easily integrate into modern homes but also possess the collectible value of originals, providing an elegant and pressure-free starting point for newcomers to the art world.' The exhibition offers an alternative choice for 'Art March,' with styles spanning from trendy cartoons and modern sculptures to traditional crafts, allowing aspiring collectors with limited budgets to experience the joy of collecting fine art.
