Founders & Vision

‘We first connected through our love of art, and soon realised that
there was no one source that presents a curated selection of art events.
We founded AARRTT to help art-lovers navigate through all the information,
in order to identify the best art happenings.’

VISION

AARRTT connects audiences to the best art happenings in the two cultural capitals of Hong Kong and Paris, offering a curated selection of highlights to encourage art appreciation, exploration, and education. With the Hong Kong art market only second to New York, AARRTT spotlights this dynamic city’s vibrant art scene with its myriad exhibitions, events, and offerings. And with Art Basel Paris firmly established in the French capital since 2024, AARRTT also showcases the best art happenings taking place in the city of light. Providing a platform for artists, galleries, and institutions to shine, AARRTT offers the necessary tools to explore the diverse art scene in the two cultural capitals of Asia and Europe.

Within the Greater Bay Area (GBA), cultural cities beyond Hong Kong encompass those such as Shenzhen and Macau, where museums, galleries, and exhibitions are opening at astonishing rates, as well as those in neighbouring cities around the Asian region, such as Shanghai, Seoul, and Singapore. When it comes to exploring these burgeoning art cities, AARRTT provides you with resources to discover the wealth of happenings.
