After the prolonged Covid restrictions for the past three years, the excitement of Art March is back, and this year Art Basel Hong Kong and Art Central both returned to their full-scale programmes. Unfazed by a rocky few weeks in the banking sector that led to Art Basel's global lead partner UBS acquiring Credit Suisse, the fair returned to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre from Tuesday to Saturday last week. Both that event and Art Central reported strong sales from Asian buyers and increased pan-Asian participation. The Works team visited Art Basel Hong Kong to bring you some highlights of this year's show.

Reaching its fourth-year mark, the Hong Kong Youth Jazz Collective or HKYJC is an educational programme offering jazz training for young local musicians.
This month, the students will be performing in an annual concert that features both new arrangements of jazz standards and original compositions. The programme's founder Lui Ngao-yuen and a few of the members are with us right now.
