Bars, too, have gotten into the act.

At M bar in the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, Agung Prabowo is mixing up cocktails with shocking colors like the paintings of Andy Warhol, to complement the Warhol in China photo exhibition from Monday through March 26. The three art-inspired drinks (each HK$195 or $25), include The Camouflage (Herno gin, Cointreau, lemon, egg white, half and half, raspberry and hibiscus dust) and Velvet Underground, which was particularly inspired by Warhol's iconic 1966 painting Banana.

Meanwhile, at the Langham Hong Kong's Palm Court, pastry chef Matthieu Godard and his culinary team have designed a Blooming Art Afternoon Tea, with a selection of five colorful pastries decorated as a bouquet of blossoms. But on March 25 and 26, the art is you. British illustrator Tanya Bennett, whose fashion vignettes have been featured by prestigious brands such as Christian Louboutin, Cartier and Lane Crawford, will be creating guest's portraits to take home.
