The Best Art Exhibitions To Visit In Hong Kong This May

This article highlights three art exhibitions in Hong Kong for May 2026. 'Seeds of Wishes' at JPS Gallery features black-and-white and colorful drawings by thirteen-year-old artist Yat Long, created after his diagnosis with a life-threatening disease, with a related CASETiFY phone case collection. 'Dial-A-Poem Hong Kong' at M+ presents an interactive installation based on John Giorno's 1969 project, offering newly recorded poems in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin by thirty local poets. 'Fallen Angels' at Hauser & Wirth showcases Nicole Eisenman's paintings and sculptures exploring middle-class life, departing from her usual crowded scenes.

These exhibitions matter because they demonstrate the diversity of contemporary art in Hong Kong, from a young artist's personal healing journey to participatory poetry and a major international artist's introspective work. The shows also highlight how art can engage with health, community, and everyday life, while the CASETiFY collaboration and phone-based poetry hotline illustrate innovative ways to make art accessible beyond traditional gallery spaces.
