The city is blessed with some fine and famous galleries, but there are many smaller secret spots to seek out. Smaller outlets have had a tough time lately, so let Little Steps guide you and your family towards some splashes of color to show them your support.
An art space that is comfortable and not pretentious – here’s an art gallery where you won’t mind bringing the children. Bamboo Scenes Gallery offers stunning Hong Kong wall art by local photographers. Flip through ‘vinyl record style’ collection boxes for a laid-back art gallery experience. They’re partnered with local organic restaurant Locofama so you could grab a bite after with your little art connoisseurs. And the best part is that proceeds from the “Hong Kong Perspectives” exhibition support local charity ImpactHK.
