This March, Ovolo Southside, the city’s pioneering warehouse conversion hotel that put Wong Chuk Hang on the map, offers art enthusiasts and sports fanatics a place to rest their weary heads with two fun-filled packages for those attending Hong Kong Rugby Sevens and Art Month events.
Heart For Art Package – March 2023
Ovolo Southside
During the month of March, the Hong Kong art scene comes alive with the return of the region’s most respected art fairs: Art Central and Art Basel. Both events will stage the largest shows since 2019, attracting world-class galleries, collectors, artists and tourists from Asia and beyond. To celebrate their triumphant return, Ovolo Southside has launched a Heart for Art package. The package includes complimentary tickets to Art Central, a daily happy hour and Ovolo signature perks. Guests staying from the 22nd – 25th of March will also receive 10% off at VEDA, TQM and Kömune, for wining and dining after a long day of exhibitions and events. Ovolo Southside is conveniently nestled in the buzzing cultural neighbourhood of Wong Chuk Hang, home to Hong Kong’s most notable classic and contemporary art galleries and artist studios, and closely located next to the MTR, giving visitors access to Central and Admiralty in just 15 minutes.
Guests will also get priority access to the limited-time ART.FULL. dinner with VEDA series, taking place from the 13th-26th of March, where Chef Raul and Hong Kong-born Indian artist Riya Chandiramani have joined forces to create an exclusive 9-course art-dining experience priced at HKD$1688.
Chandiramani is an Indian painter whose body of work explores bold ideas with intricacy and wit. Most known for her vibrant cereal box series, her work reflects the myriad cultural influences and experiences that have shaped her identity, such as East meets West, traditional meets modern, and spiritual meets material. Chef Raul has curated a menu inspired by Riya’s journey and artistic style both of which draw a strong connection to Indian cuisine. A curated gin & tonic menu accompanies the dishes, a nod to Chandiramani’s favourite cocktail. Executive Chef Raul says “To me, this collaboration is exactly what VEDA is about – a modern, innovative take on Indian cuisine. After I met Riya, I was inspired to create a menu which resonates with her childhood memories and deep connection to Indian food and vegetarian food. The menu will take guests on a balanced culinary journey across vibrant flavours and presentations inspired by Riya’s lively artwork.”
Riya has created 50 limited-edition works of art signed by herself and Chef Raul for every guest to take home. Without revealing too much, Riya represents herself in her work as a mother goddess channelling the abundance and energy that Earth provides taking inspiration from ingredients and dishes on the menu. Chandiramani will also showcase her new works at Art Central this year with Vain Projects, a new venture by Young Soy Gallery.
