Hong Kong ToyCar Salon 2026
Hong Kong's largest model car salon returns for its sixth edition — and this year the miniature world stretches from the street all the way to the sky. Hong Kong ToyCar Salon 2026 takes over the Hopewell Hotel Grand Ballroom with 1:64 diecast cars, brand-new aircraft and railway zones, Hong Kong bus displays, and real JDM cars on the floor so you can compare model and machine side by side. The 2026 visual theme leans into 8-bit pixel nostalgia — retro game aesthetics meet Hong Kong street scenes — while the exhibitor list keeps getting heavier: Tomica and Hobby Japan, returning Schuco and Majorette, and local standouts like POP RACE, Tarmac Works, and Tiny. First-time brands including Blokees, Almost Real, and Greenlight Motion add build, display, and RC play to the usual hunt for show exclusives. Three days of brand launches, collector talks, and railway travel stories — expect a packed hall and a crowd that knows its liveries. Event details: Dates: 21–23 August 2026 Hours: Fri 21 Aug 2:00 PM – 8:00 PM · Sat–Sun 22–23 Aug 12:00 PM – 8:00 PM Venue: Hopewell Hotel Grand Ballroom, 16/F, 15 Kennedy Road, Wan Chai Admission: HK$20 (free for children under 1 m; seniors 65+ with Senior Card or ID; persons with disabilities with registration card) Tickets: On-site or Klook https://www.klook.com/zh-HK/activity/162420/ Official page: https://shorturl.at/HvFFk If you collect 1:64, chase exclusives, or just want a weekend that smells like fresh diecast, this is the August stop in Wan Chai.

"We Paint What You Might See" Group Exhibition
Tang Contemporary Art presents a compelling group exhibition featuring three distinguished artists: Ben Ashton, Ivan Pokidyshev, and Jochen Mühlenbrink. This exhibition explores the intersection between visual perception and artistic interpretation, challenging viewers to reconsider the relationship between what we see and what truly exists. The three artists share a common philosophy: painting serves as a medium to reimagine and reshape visual reality rather than merely document it. While each demonstrates exceptional technical mastery, their work transcends simple representation. They create a dynamic tension between physical observation and psychological perception, opening up spaces where appearance and reality diverge in subtle yet profound ways. Ben Ashton's practice draws from classical portraiture traditions—incorporating confident poses, refined compositions, and historical gravitas—only to deliberately disrupt these conventions. Through his extensive study of old masters combined with digital-age aesthetics, he introduces glitches and formal ruptures that undermine the authority, confidence, and historical certainty these portraits once projected. His subjects remain recognizable, yet their projected authority becomes destabilized, creating both visual and conceptual uncertainty. Curated by Zoe Tsang and Willa Yip, this exhibition invites viewers to question their assumptions about visual truth and artistic representation. Opening reception: August 22, 2026, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Shimon Kamada: Phantom('s) Presence
PODIUM presents Phantom('s) Presence — the first solo exhibition by Rotterdam-based Japanese artist Shimon Kamada, and his first at the gallery. Drawn from childhood and teenage photo albums back home in Japan, the new works stage memory as something that floats, overlaps, and refuses to sit still: hometown streets, domestic interiors, landscapes, and dream logic held together by warped light and a quiet, uneasy shadow. The title works both ways. Memory hangs around like a ghost that never quite leaves the room; it also nods to phantom limb — the strange sense that what is gone can still feel present. Kamada leans into that instability. Partway through the run, some pieces will be rearranged and remade, so the show itself keeps shifting while you are looking. Exhibition details: Dates: 13 June – 29 August 2026 Hours: Tuesday – Saturday, 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM (closed Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays) Venue: PODIUM Gallery, Unit 9D, E Tat Factory Building, 4 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang A slow afternoon in Wong Chuk Hang for anyone who likes painting that feels half-remembered — and half still happening.

Hong Kong Mountain Monster Exhibition
Discover the mythical creatures lurking in Hong Kong's peaks! 🏔️👹 Artist Choi King Hong is bringing his acclaimed "Hong Kong Mountain Monster" series back home after a successful exhibition in Tokyo, Japan in 2025. This decade-long artistic journey comes full circle with a reimagined showcase at AMAZ by Lokianno in Causeway Bay. For this special Hong Kong exhibition, the artist has completely redesigned all the mountain monsters, breathing new life into these fantastical beings. In a creative fusion of tradition and imagination, he transforms Hong Kong's four most challenging hiking trails — known in the local hiking community as the "four major exam routes" — into brand new monster characters. Each creature is brought to life through a unique blend of traditional Chinese ink painting techniques, creating a distinctive artistic style that bridges heritage and contemporary art. 🎨 Exhibition Highlights: • Reimagined mountain monster artworks from the complete series • New monster designs inspired by Hong Kong's legendary hiking trails • Fusion of traditional ink wash painting with modern creative expression • A decade of artistic evolution on display 🦍 Bonus Exhibition: Running concurrently at the same venue is the accompanying exhibition "Monkey Mountain Serial Robbery Case" — a collaborative showcase featuring modified soft vinyl toy artworks by various artists. This playful exhibition runs alongside the main show, adding another dimension to the creative celebration. Whether you're a hiking enthusiast, art lover, or collector of unique creative works, this exhibition offers a fresh perspective on Hong Kong's natural landscape through the lens of mythology and imagination. 📅 Dates: July 11 – August 12, 2026 ⏰ Hours: 12:00 PM – 9:00 PM daily 📍 AMAZ by Lokianno (Causeway Bay), G/F & Basement, 2-4 Kingston Street, Fashion Walk

Beyond the rental experience, four dedicated exhibition zones await: a Classic Nikon Camera Display tracing the evolution of optical craftsmanship across decades; an Image Recipe Gallery showcasing curated shots from the Zf and ZR; a Nikon Zf Colour Wall displaying the full range of body colours; and a hands-on Zf & ZR Try-Out Zone for those who want to feel the cameras in action.

"Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night." — Tobe KAN Solo Exhibition
Safety Valve Gallery presents Tobe KAN's solo exhibition, "Good Afternoon, Good Evening, Good Night.", featuring a series of new and recent works by the artist. The exhibition title borrows the recurring line from the 1998 film The Truman Show — extending from the film's artificial constructed space into questions of how the everyday is repeated, how our sense of time becomes disrupted, and the structures and frameworks that quietly shape our imagination of home, nature, and identity — both physically and psychologically. Through painting and found objects, the exhibition unfolds along two parallel creative threads: one rooted in the artist's observations of plants encountered across Europe and Hong Kong; the other, more intimate and close to daily life — a series of domestic still lifes. Together, these works invite viewers to pause and reconsider the familiar — the routines we inhabit, the spaces we call home, and the quiet ways in which the world around us is always, subtly, being staged. Date: 6 June – 1 August 2026, 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Tuesday to Saturday) Venue: Safety Valve Gallery 3-F, Tai Sang Industrial Building, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen, Hong Kong

Design Ah! — Experiencing the Wonder of Everyday Design
What if the humble chopstick, your toothbrush, or a traffic light held secrets you never noticed? This summer, M+ throws open its doors to "Design Ah!", a landmark exhibition that transforms the mundane into the marvellous. Originating from NHK's award-winning Japanese children's educational TV programme Design Ah! neo, this is the first time the exhibition has ventured beyond Japan — and it lands in spectacular fashion at the M+ Ground Floor Hall. Co-produced by NHK Education Corporation, NHK Promotions Inc., and TOKYO NODE, the show is helmed by celebrated designer Taku Satoh, with visual direction by Yugo Nakamura and music direction by Shuta Hasunuma. Spread across 21 interactive installations and immersive audio-visual spaces, the exhibition deconstructs the design logic hidden within 10 everyday human behaviours — walking, eating, sitting, gripping, and more. Far from dry theory, this is design you play with: hands-on games, participatory installations, and sensory rooms invite visitors of all ages to see the world with fresh eyes. Hong Kong gets its own special touch, with select exhibits incorporating local visual culture and culinary references.
