Street Art Festival HKwalls Goes to Wan Chai
, Wan Chai 
Why We Recommend it
The 6th edition of HKwalls sees local and international artist painting street murals in Wan Chai, as well as fun workshops, parties and pop-up shows.
Description
HKwalls was founded in 2014 with the objective of engaging new audiences and strengthening the link between art and public space. Every year, the non-profit organisation holds a street art festival in a different district in Hong Kong during the city’s arts month.
The 2019 edition of HKwalls sees a nine-day celebration of street art and creative collaboration in Wan Chai. A stylistically and culturally diverse group of artists, coming from different countries all over the world, will be painting in the streets.
A pop-up exhibition will be held in The Clubhouse, the festival’s headquarters—which is situated within a 90 year old Grade III historic building located at 6 Stewart Road—complimented by a series of short film screenings, walking tours in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, music shows, and workshops in cross-stitching, poster making and graffiti art.
The event will culminate in a closing party in The Clubhouse on March 31, during which visitors can meet many of the featured artists, get a last look at the many artwork on display, watch a short film or two, and enjoy live DJ sets and free drinks.
