WKM Gallery is a contemporary art gallery located in Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong. It was founded by William Kayne Mukai in 2023.[1] The gallery fosters creativity and cultural exchange with both emerging and established artists. The space designed by Japanese architect Koichi Futatsumata embodies Japan's spiritual essence, transcending traditional gallery norms.[2]

The inaugural exhibition Metamorphosis: Japan’s Evolving Society was held on 24 November 2023 featured twelve Japanese artists Yuichi Hirako (平子雄一), Tatsuhito Horikoshi (堀越達人), Ei Kaneko (金子英), Takumi Kokubo (小久保拓海), Akitsuna Komori (小森紀綱), Hiroya Kurata (倉田裕也), Tomona Matsukawa (松川朋奈), Ryo Matsuoka (松岡亮), Minori Oga (相賀美規), Hiro Sugiyama (ヒロ杉山), Ichi Tashiro (田城一) and TIDE.[3] The gallery held its second exhibition Take the Field, Take the Stage featuring Taiwanese artist Kuo Yen Fu in January 2024.[4]
