The first Asia Top Gallery Hotel Art Fair (AHAF) was held in 2008 at the New Otani Hotel in Tokyo. The second AHAF was held in 2009 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul. After these two successful events, the third one will be held in 2010 at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Hotel.

Hotel art fairs, which satisfy visitors’ desires for unconventional fun, have been revitalized and are being held in Japan, Europe, the United States, and other countries. They are being held in Taiwan because of the sensation among art collectors concerning luxurious image in hotels. The new idea of hotel art fairs has been accepted enthusiastically in Korea. It is hoped that the next fair, to be held in China in 2010, will be as successful as the 2009 fair.

According to Asia Art Net, whose goal is to unify the Asian art world by holding the AHAF in the most important Asian cities, the third AHAF will be held in Hong Kong in 2010. Hong Kong is a unique area, known for its duty-free shopping. It aspires to become a mecca for contemporary art through its art fairs and auctions. Moreover, the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong features magnificent views of Hong Kong’s renowned Victoria Harbor and the Wanchai District. It is close to the convention center where the art fair is to be held. The Grand Hyatt Hong Kong holds excellent auctions, so it is very familiar to art collectors.

AHAF 2010’s goals are to revitalize the Asian art market and promote emerging artists from Asia. The AHAF Young Artist program will be held extensively and continuously. The artists will have the chance to show their work at an affiliated gallery. Moreover, AHAF has prepared auction rooms to provide an exhibition space along with a preview from the prime auction companies in Asia, which have galleries and a big auction season next May. The excellence of art in Korea will become widely known through a special exhibition of Korea’s twenty leading sculptors.

Compared to the general art fair exhibition at the white cube, this exhibition using hotel rooms will offer paintings put on the bed, and sculptures in the bathtub. In addition, this new display concept will allow people who want to buy artwork the chance to imagine the paintings being displayed in their own rooms.

There will be a great exhibition featuring about 1800 works of art over the course of three days with the participation of more than 70 galleries from Korea, China, and Japan. In addition, a docent tour program and lectures from art columnists will be offered to VIP costumers. Visitors can enjoy this contemporary art tour at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Hotel.

第三屆Asia Top畫廊酒店藝術博覽會將於2010年在香港君悅酒店盛大舉行。第一、二屆Asia Top畫廊酒店藝術博覽會分別在東京新大穀酒店（2008年），及首爾君悅大酒店（2009年）成功舉辦。

酒店藝術博覽會始源於日本和歐美等地，是一項最尖端形式的藝術活動。酒店的高檔形象給予藝術收藏家良好的印象，同時亦為觀訪者提供嶄新的藝術體驗。對酒店藝術博覽會比較陌生的韓國，在2009年舉辦第二屆AHAF之後，認定是一種成功的藝術博覽會的形式，故第三屆將於2010年在中國試行舉辦。

以“和諧亞洲藝術圈”為目標，並為促進亞洲藝術圈的交流及發展而成立的AISA ART NET，隨著它們的宗旨，在亞洲主要城市中輪流舉行酒店藝術博覽會，第三屆AHAF確定於香港舉行。香港是擁有免稅基制的“購物天堂”，近期舉辦的香港藝術博覽會和各種拍賣會令香港晉身成為亞洲重要的現代藝術中心。君悅酒店坐落於灣仔區的維多利亞海港，鄰近舉辦香港藝術博覽會的國際會議中心，韓國各種拍賣會更是定期在此舉行，對很多收藏家來說別具意義。

AHAF2010除了促進亞洲藝術圈的交流及發展，同時亦積極發掘和培養亞洲年輕優秀人才。在名為AHAF YOUNG ARTIST的活動裡，被推薦選拔出來的藝術家，通過AHAF YOUNG ARTIST展覽，可以獲得日後在畫廊展示的機會。此外，在拍賣室內亦能欣賞到亞洲著名拍賣公司的展覽，提前預測5月拍賣的趨向。

在酒店內舉行的展覽與一般白立方的展覽場地有所不同，蘊藏小巧玲瓏的韻味。藝術作品掛在酒店客房內，參觀者可作近距離的親密接觸，感到別具一格的親切感。

這次藝術博覽將會有來自香港、中國、台灣、韓國、及日本等地的70家畫廊參予，在三天的展期裡會展示1800多種的藝術作品。同時更設有貴賓導賞團和藝術評論家的講座。參觀者可以在君悅酒店裡盡享現代藝術所帶來的愉悅。
