*D’ART is a non-profit making organization aiming at analyzing and promoting contemporary art culture in Hong Kong through conducting forums and researches, publishing as well as organizing art events/exhibitions. D’ART is also the name of a bi-monthly bulletin which attempts to illustrate the contour of Contemporary Art in Hong Kong by initiating discourses and archiving open discussions on Artworks, Artists and Events/Exhibitions organized by the Alternative Art Space/Art Venues for Hong Kong art culture. *D’ART is a compound noun borrowed from French words: “De” and “Art”. “De” in French often means “of” or “from”, which is used to combining with the definite article to produce a contracted form. Thus the word D’ART implies that something / somebody “of”, “from” Art.
