Created by Australian hyperrealist artist Cj Hendry, the installation invites visitors to wander through 26 whimsical flower designs, ranging from roses and sunflowers to unexpected surprises. Two exclusive blooms debut in Hong Kong: the ‘Henderson Flower,’ created to mark Henderson Land’s 50th anniversary, and the Bauhinia, inspired by the city’s emblem and the organic curves of The Henderson building.

Admission is free, but advance registration is required. Once inside, guests can choose one complimentary plush flower to take home, or purchase additional ones at $38 each to build their own bouquet.

The Flower Market is designed to be welcoming to all — families, friends and anyone looking for a moment of whimsy during Art Month. It’s also a chance to experience Cj Hendry’s work in person, following her sold-out shows and large-scale installations everywhere from Brooklyn to the Mojave Desert.

The post 54th Hong Kong Arts Festival Programme Highlights appeared first on Sassy Hong Kong.

Walk through a 20,000sqft purpose-built tent and explore 10 galleries, each inspired by a different art movement. Every single one comes with a bite-sized edible creation made just for the experience — think jelly balloon dogs from a giant claw machine, focaccia hidden inside paper flowers and chocolate bonbons that reveal their secrets when you open the right cabinet. Plus, two Hong Kong icons are creating exclusive installations for the Edible Art Fair!

Visitors are invited to explore the ten-gallery experience at their own pace, with a recommended walkthrough time of one hour. Along the journey, bite-sized delights in each gallery are designed to deepen the connection to the art. Here’s everything you can expect to see and taste at the debut Edible Art Fair:

“Pop It!” — Inspired by Neo-Pop Art Movement
An installation delightfully decorated with reflective bubble shapes in different sizes. A jelly balloon dog confection is retrieved from a giant claw machine that dominates the space. The edible creation, Jelly Dog, is a playful jelly confection shaped like a balloon dog, offered in matcha, black sesame, osmanthus and goji berry flavours, with delicate bounce and gentle sweetness.

“The Magic Makers” — Inspired by Hong Kong Contemporary Art
Featuring the artwork of Angela Yuen, this installation transforms collected found objects into a poetic narrative. Paired with Choc Duck — a silky dark chocolate shell with a fluffy marshmallow centre.

“Roll With It” — Inspired by Modernism
Colour block light boxes and panels fill the space. An attendant serves guests with Fruit Ribbons — thin, tangy fruit strips bursting with natural sweetness. Strawberry balsamic offers jammy and zesty notes, while piña colada blends tropical pineapple with creamy coconut.

“Drip” — Inspired by Expressionism
Floor and walls decorated in expressionist style. A drink experience offers Liquid Palette flavoured drinks through coloured tubes — roselle tea with ruby acidity and cranberry-like brightness, and butterfly pea juice with delicate florals and earthiness.

“Go Bananas!” — Inspired by Conceptual Art
A playful display of replica fruits taped to the wall. Visitors receive a delicious miniature edible Banana taped to a small board.

“Feast Your Eyes” — Inspired by Surrealism
A fully laid table inside a veil of curtains. Visitors put their heads behind the veil to discover the vivid setting. A Tin of edible pearls offers an unexpected Dali-esque surprise.

“Blue-tiful” — Inspired by Optical Illusion Art
An optical illusion focused on perspective, playing with the shape of an egg to form a perfect round shape within an immersive, blue-lit backdrop. Visitors receive an ‘Op-art egg’ — an Eggie in Blue, an egg-shaped puff pastry filled with egg custard.

“Bloomin’ Marvellous” — Inspired by Impressionism
A garden of giant flowers followed by a floral animation gallery. In Bloom focaccia flowers bloom throughout, each delicate paper blossom cradling a piece of focaccia infused with olive oil and rosemary.

“Cabinet of Curiosities” — Inspired by Spatialism
Guests pick a ball from a colourful central display before opening a matching cabinet. Inside, Hidden Gems chocolate bonbons await — glossy chocolates splattered with colour concealing varied fruity, nutty, boozy and spiced centres.

“Frogtopia” — Inspired by New Ink Movement
Featuring the participatory installation by Frog King. Visitors engage with the playful space and taste Froggy Biscuits — savoury parmesan biscuits with umami-rich, buttery flavour.
