Our Story
Discover Art Tour by Hilary
Founder of City Transit Arts Consultancy
©CT ArtsOur story started in the summer of 2006, as a non-profit in Vienna to enhance city-based arts exchange between Europe and Asia.
Our founder, Hilary, has travelled extensively in Europe and Asia to discover talents at biennales, fairs and to curate collaborative projects. Many of these projects and journeys have led to the birth of CityTransit Arts in Hong Kong, as the international art market started to take shape there.
In an effort to make collecting contemporary art more accessible, as well as to provide art lovers and collectors the knowledge and access to the ever-evolving international art markets - our signature Discover Art Tours and Collector Program were born in 2016!
Over the years, Hilary has served many international art lovers and collectors in starting and expanding their collections. Our International Collector Program with special art events, educational content and member benefits are for everyone who is embarking on this exciting journey of art discovery, appreciation, and collecting!

Testimonials
“I’ve been working with Hilary to build my private collection since 2016, and I’ve known about her passion and expertise in art since. Her gallery tours have always been informative and fun (I always learn a lot!) and I can see how dedicated she is in promoting art/ artists and educating the public about collecting contemporary art. I also got my art portfolio according to my budget which I found very useful! I highly recommend Hilary’s collector program and her advisory services to anyone who wants to learn more about art, both for appreciation, collecting or investing. She is genuine, knowledgeable and hardworking for sure!”
“My husband and I met Hilary in 2016 at one of her Art Gallery Tours. Since then we regularly visit her events and get advice on how to buy art. Her Gallery Tours are informative, always fun and include a wide range of artists in Contemporary Art directions.
I also attended two of her art seminars, which provided me with background knowledge and up-to-date information on the worldwide art market and the art market in Hong Kong.
Hilary is very professional and passionate and has a great expertise in art. Thanks to her consultation we are now happy owners of a small collection of paintings and sculptures. Without her we would not have met these artists and we are looking forward to continue working with her.”
“Hilary has great insights to and contexts for artists showing in different galleries. I will take all my visitors to CityTransit Arts gallery tours with Hilary.”
“Recommended by a co-worker and attended Hilary’s workshop on Collecting Contemporary Art 101. The session was very informative for those of us that were looking to explore the contemporary art market, it was fun to attend as Hilary organised it in a highly interactive way. Given her experience in the field, I am surely looking forward to joining her next art tours!”
