For Art's Sake

Dedicated to fostering cross-cultural art appreciation, the Global Group has forged partnerships with many prestigious institutions for regional and international projects

Once a year, Hong Kong gets a tremendous creative boost when Art Basel, along with the vast array of exhibitions during Art Week, stimulates the public interest in visual arts. But once the whirlwind week is over, the spotlight on international art continues to shine brightly, thanks to patrons like the Global Group, which are keen to support the city’s ever-evolving art scene year-round.

Founded by Hong Kong-born businessman and philanthropist Johnny Hon, the Global Group is set on building a broader, more inclusive creative culture in the city. Here, it has a two-fold mission: to provide a unique platform for Hong Kong audiences to view art from different cultures, while enriching minds and inspiring audiences with fresh creative and cultural perspectives.

Through a series of partnerships and collaborations with various consulates, the Global Group has supported a number of platforms in Hong Kong for the presentation of art exhibitions in the belief that art is important for a healthy society and should be part of everyday life.
