At few other times of the year is the vibrancy of the Hong Kong arts scene so apparent than in March, when the city becomes a focal point for art enthusiasts from all over the world. But the scene thrives throughout the year, buoyed by the imagination and talent of the city’s artists, along with the work of the many people who support them.
Among the honourees on our Asia’s Most Influential list are a substantial number from the creative industries—a testament to the power of art in shaping ideas, sparking inspiration and bolstering the economy. From diverse backgrounds, they bring a wealth of ideas, making the city that much richer for what they create.

These movers and shakers are the people who make Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene happen
ADELINE OOI
Former director for Asia, Art Basel; board member, Para Site
Adeline Ooi, the director for Asia at Art Basel from 2015 to November 2023, grew up in rural Malaysia. With her western-centric fine arts degree, Ooi says she lacked knowledge of Asian art history. And so it was important to her to prioritise representation: joining Art Basel in 2013, she helped set a 50 per cent quota for Asian art every year. Ooi’s leadership was instrumental in the success of Art Basel 2022, a hybrid fair blending live events and a digital programme, following the cancellation of the 2020 show. In February 2024, she joined Para Site as a board member.
