To celebrate the launch of the club, they are hosting a gala dinner on 11 May 2011 starting at 19:00. The venue is to be confirmed.

The vision of the Club is to create a platform for artists to showcase their talent — a platform open to a diversity of artists and art forms alike. Through this local platform, Asian and selected international artists will have the opportunity to raise their profile in Hong Kong. On a periodic basis, an independent Advisory Committee of representatives from the art, academic and professional communities will select artists, artworks, and exhibitions to sponsor. The Club will then sponsor those selected by exhibiting their works in a location open to the wider community. The Club will also host a series of events for its members and guests who will have the opportunity to network with other industry professionals and meet the Club’s network of sponsored artists. Club events open to members will begin in 2011 and will include informal cocktail evenings, exhibitions, performances, lecture series, as well as dinners with artists. The Club is a registered charity in Hong Kong.
