Corporate bits | MGM extends art basel HK tours to locals

MGM provided an opportunity for the Macau creative community to travel to Art Basel this month through the sponsorship of its parent Company, MGM Resorts International.

From March 23 to 25, MGM has invited Macau community members to join three separate tours to Art Basel Hong Kong.

Participants in the tours included 27 members of the Cultural Industries Fund and the Committee of Cultural Industries, as well as a group of 18 students and professors from the Visual Arts and Design bachelor’s degree programs of the Macau Polytechnic Institute.

The tours began in the morning with a ride on the MGMRI Sponsored Tram Project, “Twenty-Five Minutes Older” by Hong Kong artist Kingsley Ng, followed by a journey through Wan Chai and its revamp of Lei Tung street through creative initiatives, and concluded with a tour at Art Basel.

The gaming operator added in a statement that the tour groups were given the opportunity to interact with Ng, who is known for creating conceptual art projects that are community-engaging.
