Abstract
It hasn't been long ago since my school teacher told me that HK was a cultural desert, but nowadays it happens that my banker friends go art-jamming as a past-time, every lifestyle magazine has an art and design column, and even the government is focusing its largest urban planning plot on art venue development. It is a time when visiting artists' galleries, studios and exhibitions has become one of the most ' fashionable' hanging outs among intellectuals and professionals. While fascinating about the booming of the art culture, this would be a good time to take a look at the urban characteristics of existing independent art spaces in HK before planning for the bigger.
