If you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional art fair, head along to the Asia Contemporary Art Show at the JW Marriott Hotel, Hong Kong. Following the same format as the Asia Hotel Art Fair held previously in the year, the JW Marriott will open four floors of its guest rooms, adorning them with paintings, sculptures and photography.
