******************************************************************************************
     ​The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Brussels (Brussels ETO) organised the first Hong Kong art gallery pavilion at the KunstRAI Art Fair 2026, held in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, from April 22 to 26 (Amsterdam time).
      
     Sponsored by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the Hong Kong art pavilion featured eight distinguished Hong Kong galleries, namely 10 Chancery Lane Gallery, 3812 Gallery, Blue Lotus Gallery, Contemporary by Angela Li, JPS Gallery, Lucie Chang Fine Arts, SC Gallery and Soluna Fine Art. Contemporary masterpieces from Hong Kong were presented, alongside a diverse array of artworks by emerging artists, demonstrating the profound dynamism of Hong Kong. Hong Kong artists Jeremy Fung and Lewis Lee attended the art fair in person, engaging directly with visitors and introducing their works.
      
     In addition, a dedicated Hong Kong Art and Design space was jointly presented by Brussels ETO, the West Kowloon Cultural District, the Hong Kong Design Gallery of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and the "Gallery in the skies" of Cathay Pacific. This exhibition not only showcased the creativity and versatility of Hong Kong's artistic talent but also demonstrated the power of business partnerships in supporting cultural development.
      
     Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong art pavilion on April 22, the Special Representative for Hong Kong Economic and Trade Affairs to the European Union, Ms Shirley Yung, highlighted that Hong Kong is not only a premier art market in Asia and one of the world's top three art trading centres, but also a city where art is deeply embedded in everyday life, with a vibrant ecosystem presenting a unique blend of rich traditions and contemporary innovation.
      
     On this occasion, Brussels ETO also supported four young Hong Kong musicians studying in the Netherlands. The musicians delivered a captivating crossover performance blending jazz and classical opera during KunstRAI's Artist Night, further showcasing Hong Kong's multifaceted cultural talent.
      
     An art talk entitled "Why Europe's Next Art Opportunity is in Hong Kong" was also organised during the fair. Featuring representatives from Hong Kong galleries and the art community, the session provided insights into Hong Kong’s thriving art market as well as its role as a gateway for Euro-Asian cultural exchanges.
      
     As one of Europe's longest-running fairs, KunstRAI's 41st edition hosted approximately 100 galleries and over 20 000 visitors, with Hong Kong Art and Design as a special focus this year.
