A highly anticipated cross-border driving scheme for Guangdong residents will provide a boost for Hong Kong's tourism-related industries, the transport chief has said, as she called on different sectors to offer a variety of tailored packages linked to hotels, restaurants and events to woo the new source of visitors. Advertisement Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan on Thursday noted the business sector's enthusiasm over the launch of the Southbound Travel for Guangdong Vehicles scheme, which will allow a daily quota of 100 vehicles to enter the city's urban areas via the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. 'I am pleased to note the positive response from different sectors, especially the business industry including hotels, catering, retail, AsiaWorld-Expo, and business chambers. They are all very supportive,' she told the media, a day after announcing that the scheme would be launched in November, a month earlier than planned. 'The business sector is actually very quick-witted. Industry players can actively explore launching packages, such as parking combined with accommodation, exhibitions, or other activities and mega-events.' Chan stressed that packages tailor-made for Guangdong drivers would help improve supporting facilities and connections, and inform promotional strategies that would better capitalise on this new group of visitors.

Asian Emerging Artist List Exhibition Wraps Up in Hong Kong, Spotlights Rising Talent Across Asia
06/02/2025, Toronto Ontario // KISS PR Brand Story PressWire // Hong Kong, June 1, – Younes Bensebaa, International Arts News —The Asian Emerging Artist List Exhibition concluded on Sunday after a four-day run at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong, drawing international acclaim for its showcase of promising new voices in contemporary Asian art. Curated by Tingting Fang, Dean of the Asian Academy of Arts, the exhibition has become a cornerstone of Hong Kong's annual art season. Held from May 30 to June 2, the exhibition featured works from artists across Asia and beyond, including participants from Singapore, London, Shanghai, and New York. Mediums ranged from traditional painting and sculpture to digital works, immersive installations, and virtual reality experiences. The show attracted collectors, curators, and art professionals from Europe, North America, and across Asia, underscoring its growing global relevance. A Platform for Emerging Talent The Asian Academy of Arts announced the successful conclusion of the exhibition, which was curated and led by Tingting Fang — a prominent figure in contemporary Asian art and a champion of emerging artists. Held at AsiaWorld-Expo, one of Asia's premier venues for cultural events, the exhibition earned wide recognition and high attendance, further solidifying its position on the international art calendar. Timed to coincide with Hong Kong's vibrant art season, the exhibition drew significant attention from collectors, critics, and global institutions. Tingting Fang: Visionary Curator and Mentor Central to the exhibition's success is Tingting Fang's inspired curatorial leadership. For over a decade, Fang has devoted herself to identifying and nurturing emerging talent across Asia, building platforms for new voices to connect with global audiences. Her ability to elevate raw artistic talent into internationally recognized names has made her one of the region's most respected mentors and curators.. Combining a deep knowledge of traditional Asian aesthetics with a sharp eye for contemporary trends, Fang has helped bridge generations of artistic practice. Under her leadership, the Asian Academy of Arts has offered young artists valuable grants, exhibition opportunities, and access to galleries, biennales, and collectors worldwide. 'The Asian Emerging Artist List is more than an exhibition — it's a movement,' said Tingting Fang. 'These artists represent the future of Asian art, and our role is to ensure their voices are heard on the global stage. This exhibition is about giving them the visibility and confidence they need to thrive.' Asian Art on the World Stage Now in its latest edition, the Asian Emerging Artist List Exhibition has become one of the most important platforms for discovering new talent in the region. Artists are selected through a rigorous vetting process by the Academy's curatorial team, who review thousands of submissions based on originality, technical skill, and conceptual depth. Many artists featured in the exhibition have gone on to show at major global institutions. As a result, the List is increasingly regarded as a barometer for future success, attracting close attention from collectors, galleries, and art foundations worldwide. This year's exhibition stood out for its diversity of media — from traditional fine art to cutting-edge technology — reflecting the breadth of contemporary artistic innovation in Asia. Participating artists came from global cities such as Singapore, London, Shanghai, and New York, underscoring the international scope of the event. Through her curation, Fang ensured that forward-thinking, boundary-pushing work was at the forefront of the visitor experience. Championing the Next Generation Beyond its visual impact, the exhibition plays a pivotal role in promoting younger Asian artists who often face challenges entering the global art scene. By featuring their work on a high-profile platform, the exhibition creates valuable exposure and facilitates connections with key players in the art world. Strategically positioned during Hong Kong's peak art season, the event receives maximum visibility and media coverage, helping to propel participating artists toward international recognition. In doing so, the exhibition contributes to a broader conversation about the evolving identity of Asian contemporary art. Global Interest and Cultural Impact Interest in the exhibition circulated well before its official opening, with collectors, journalists, and art world insiders from Asia, Europe, and North America expressing strong anticipation. Many traveled to Hong Kong specifically to attend, driven by Tingting Fang's reputation for discovering exceptional talent. Several artists she has championed in previous exhibitions have since emerged as leading figures in the global art world. Join the Movement The Asian Emerging Artist List Exhibition is more than a display of talent — it is a cultural movement redefining the future of contemporary art in Asia. It not only showcases the region's brightest new artists but also fosters the next generation of artistic leadership. For collectors, it offers rare opportunities to acquire early works from rising stars. For curators, it introduces fresh perspectives and emerging themes. And for art lovers, it is a chance to witness the shaping of tomorrow's visual culture. The exhibition fosters global connections, sparks cross-cultural dialogue, and supports the professional growth of artists poised to define the next era of contemporary art. Through acquisitions, partnerships, and increased visibility, the global art community can help elevate these voices — amplifying Asia's dynamic creative presence on the world stage.
