Art Basel Hong Kong Swire Properties firmly believes that art should be for everyone. Art that is inclusionary, accessible and speaks to all. Which is why we are proud to have supported Art Basel Hong Kong every year since the show’s inaugural event over ten years ago. This iconic contemporary global art show is an important complement to the annual Hong Kong Arts Month, when we bring internationally- inspired art and performance and original events to the public across the city. Investing not just money, but time in the arts. That’s original. ArtisTree Creating places with art that’s accessible to all, is an ongoing commitment of Swire Properties. Art that reaches into and engages local communities is part of Swire Properties’ original approach to sustainable development. Along with many iconic sculptures and installations that help define neighbourhoods, are initiatives such as ArtisTree. This versatile, state of the art venue brings some of the most exciting performance art into the heart of the business community, including the sensational bubble dresses by Fredrik Tjærandsen. Neighbourhoods bursting with art. That’s original. Bringing world-class art and culture around the world. That’s original. Places that enhance your mood. That’s original. Victoria and Albert Museum, London Partnership The Victoria and Albert Museum, London (V&A) is one of the world’s great art and cultural exhibition spaces and definitely worth a visit when in London. Swire Properties asked the question, what if we could bring such incredible curations to our communities around the world? Starting in 2008, V&A and Swire Properties collaborated on Vivienne Westwood’s “A Life in Fashion” followed by “Shoes: Pleasure and Pain” in 2017, and now, the “Bags: Inside Out” exhibition which is currently touring five Swire Properties’ retail centres, free admission for public . Bringing world-class art and culture around the world. That’s original. Taikoo Li Qiantan Taikoo Li Qiantan is a recently opened complex in Shanghai that takes wellness and wellbeing to the next level, recently becoming the world's first shopping mall to receive WELL Core Platinum certification. From the overall double-open park design with multiple green spaces, AI-enabled running and walking tracks, to the iconic seven-metre-high cat installation from acclaimed British artists Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan- The indirect exchange of uncertain value, that’s designed to welcome, delight and surprise all visitors. Places that enhance your mood. That’s original.
