Corporate Connection Night
HONG KONG, October 11, 2017 — Over 70 members attended our Corporate Connection Night networking event and enjoyed a relaxing evening of free-flow wines and art appreciation. The evening also featured complimentary savory treats by sandwich fanatics Bread and Beast, and award-winning frozen treats by Lola's Ice Pops and Lily & Ran Ice Cream, all of which are locally based start-ups.
After a brief conversation with the local startups, our guests were treated to a tour of our current exhibition, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Presents — Painting Her Way: The Ink Art of Fang Zhaoling that features a selection of ink paintings and calligraphy by the distinguished female artist Fang Zhaoling (1914-2006). After having received both the Western-style education newly available to a modern woman and the master-disciple training of a traditional Chinese painter, Fang developed a personal style of remarkable originality. Her sustained artistic achievements and contributions to modern Chinese culture also shed light on women’s changing roles in the twentieth century. The exhibition, as part of Asia Society Hong Kong Center’s 20th Century Chinese Female Artist Series, is guest curated by Kuiyi Shen and Julia F. Andrews, with Joyce Hei-ting Wong as assistant curator.
The evening concluded with some lucky members going home with exciting prizes, including a catalog of Fang’s exhibition and Heritage Revealed, published by Asia Society Hong Kong Center.
