Event organisers should ensure they have sufficient funding before they sell tickets, Hong Kong authorities have said following the Digital Art Fair cancelling next month’s 2025 edition for “reasons beyond its control”.
The event was scheduled to be held at the West Kowloon Cultural District from March 26 to 30, coinciding with a string of other signature “Art March” events such as Art Basel and Art Central.
“Due to reasons beyond our control, we are forced to cancel the fair,” the organiser said on its website on Monday.
“Please be assured that all ticket holders will receive a full refund automatically – no further action is required on your part.”
The team also apologised for any disappointment its decision had caused.
The organiser told the Post last month that it had applied for government funding for the event.
