1 April 1999 — 31 March 2000

The Hong Kong Arts Development Council (ADC) was formally established by the Government in June 1995 to plan, promote and support the broad development of the arts, including the literary, performing, visual and film arts. The ADC is a highly focused policy development and funding agency, providing grants to arts organisations and artists. The ADC also develops and improves the participation and education in, and the knowledge, practice, appreciation, accessibility and informed criticism of the arts, with a view to improving quality of life for the whole community. The ADC lays great emphasis on the role played by arts education in achieving these aims.

The vision of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council is for a dynamic and diverse arts scene in Hong Kong. Chairman’s Foreword

Hong Kong’s cultural scene has been buffeted by winds of change: the dissolution of the municipal councils, the establishment of the Culture and Heritage Commission, the decision to corporatise three major performing companies, all , in a climate of economic austerity, Mr Vincent Chow ong Arts Chairman of the Hong K everything under pressure to Development Council ‘enhance productivity’. I think in the past year the Hong Kong Arts Development Council has succeeded in strengthening its own structure, preparing itself for the new environment.

We devised a better way of dealing with grants. Council Members recognise that their duty lies in making sure the system works fairly and efficiently, not in dealing with each and every application in its minutiae. We have not relegated our responsibility, rather, we elevated it to a higher level. This system conserves Members’ time and energy, it also removes personalities and relationships from the procedure of assessment, and it cultivates a large pool of expertise in the ADC.

Our Committee structure has been modified to ensure better co-ordination between art forms, to have more consistent procedures and standards, more flexible and focused utilisation of resources. The two structural alterations addressed the ADC’s dual roles, that of a funding agency and that of a developmental council.

There are two issues which the ADC’s structural changes cannot tackle. One is public attitude towards public funding for the arts. My particular concern is of those that dismiss it as a handout, and the others who believe it is of their personal right. The former camp misses the importance of arts and culture in enhancing the quality of life and the quality of the

Hong Kong Arts Development Council people. The latter is arrogant and self-serving. Neither does the cause of the arts any good.

The other is that the ADC may not be the most suitable body to make decisions on cultural exchange. In its broadest sense, cultural exchange often has an element of state diplomacy in it. The choice of ‘cultural ambassadors’ is not necessarily made solely on artistic grounds. To ask the ADC to provide funding without it having had the opportunity to give due consideration of the applicants’ qualifications is tantamount to making it flout its own policy. The ADC may be able to provide artistic advice, but it should not be expected to make political allocations of its limited financial resources. High level cultural exchange, a most useful tool, should be taken up by Government as part and parcel of its external-relations programme. If the Chief Executive wants Hong Kong to be known as a metropolis with culture, his government must be ready, willing and able to wield this tool.

On behalf of the ADC, I would like to thank members of the public, the arts community and government officials for their concern and support, and their criticism as well. I would also like to mention the Council’s dedicated and hard working staff, without whose effort much less would have been done.

Personally, as my service in the ADC draws to a close, I wish to express my gratitude to everyone for what has been a most exhilarating and enriching experience to me.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Secretary-General’s Report

Fiscal year 1999/2000 has been a fertile year for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Previous efforts in self- improvement bore fruit, and the Council continues to review and modify the structure of its Committees and mode of operation. The reforms were timely for the ADC to reposition itself for the arrival of the new administration structure. The bold restructure was remarkable as it was carried out in a year when the nomination and appointment of Council Members were made. I salute the dedication and selfless devotion of Annual Review Council Members involved.

STRUCTURAL CHANGES The Council commissioned a consultant in September 1999 to study the effectiveness of the three-tier structure of its Committees and mode of operation. The recommendation was for the ADC to strengthen corporate planning while collaborating with all the Committees to achieve identified priorities. After much discussion and consideration, the new Council decided to adopt a two-tier structure in February 2000 which will ensure that all policy decisions are made by the Council.

A new Planning and Development Committee was set up as the mastermind of corporate planning and resources allocation. Its suggestions will be considered by the Council. The Grants Committee vets and approves Project Grants (based on the Examiners’ recommendations) and handles all related procedural matters. Arts Committees (for the various art forms and arts education) are able to concentrate on drafting policies, designing proactive projects and monitoring the results of subvented projects. The new structure, undertaking its work in a more focused, consistent and effective manner, brings about a healthy separation of responsibilities between the different parties in proposal, decision-making and the monitoring of projects. Also, the role of the Secretariat in supporting the Council’s policy and artistic matters, its responsibilities in non- artistic matters and the execution of Council policies have been clarified.

EXAMINER SYSTEM — A MAJOR STEP FORWARD The peer review system of assessing Projects Grants by Examiners, introduced in early 1999, was welcomed by the arts community. An objective, numerical marking system with clear criteria for appeals made assessment fair and clear to the applicants. As with any new system, details need to be fine-tuned over time. One major difficulty had been the

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Theatre du p if — Women’s d workshop/p rama erformance pr (Photo: C ogramme heung Chi-wai)

recruitment of sufficient number of qualified Examiners for each art form. A review of the system commenced in late 1999, recommendations of which came out in June 2000.

The introduction of the Examiner system had a key impact — it increased the effectiveness of the Arts Committees. Examiners took up the assessment of grant applications and significantly reduced the time committees spend on assessing applications. Arts Committees were able to devote more time on policy matters and the design of proactive projects. Many more proactive projects, both self-managed and supported through Commissioned Grants, were launched in 1999/2000 than ever before.

ADVOCATING POLICIES FOR THE ARTS The ADC has been proactive in commissioning research, gathering public opinion and offering advice to the Government on policies affecting the arts. In response to Mr Albert Lam’s Report on the New Arts Administration Structure, the ADC organized a public forum and submitted its views. Another forum, presented with the Home Affairs Bureau, allowed officials to gather the views of the arts community on proposed changes to the election system for the nomination of the 10 ADC Members. The Bureau’s plan, subsequently implemented, had representatives of the various art forms elected by voters across the board.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Secretary-General’s Report

Two forums on media and the arts presented by the ADC, on the print media and the electronic media respectively, provided many ideas to be explored. The important topic of cultural exchange was highlighted in a consultant report, conducted by a team of overseas and local experts. The report will undoubtedly serve as an important reference guide in defining the future roles of different public bodies in the new arts administration infrastructure on cultural exchange. Annual Review Arts education has been in the limelight throughout the year. The policy document prepared by the Arts Education Committee ‘A Creative Hong Kong 2000 — The Millennium Challenge through Arts Education’ was published in June 1999. It attracted positive feedback which included responses to the report’s respective position papers from the Secretary for Education and Manpower, Curriculum Development Council and University Grants Committee. Around the same time, the aims and principles of the education reform were announced. The ADC contributed submissions in both the first and second stages of consultation, outlining our vision on education and how arts education can contribute to quality education. We are delighted that arts education has been identified as one of the eight key learning areas.

RETURNS FROM THE PROJECT GRANTS ADC’s grants can be seen as investments in artists or groups to enable them to produce returns in the form of artistic excellence. Supporting up-and- coming artists and experimental works can be compared to making high-risk/high return investments. I am delighted to report that many of the companies and projects funded by the ADC have received recognition and laurels during the year. Three-Year Grant recipient Chung Ying Theatre Company and One-Year Grant recipient Prospects Theatre won many awards at the annual Hong Kong Drama Awards organized by the Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies. Commissioned book ‘A Brief History of Hong Kong Music’ was hailed a major milestone. A number of films supported by the ADC won local and international awards. Reports of the individual Arts

Hui Chung-yu — ‘Ten Oranges’ Committees in this Annual Report will give details of these and other accomplishments.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Our requirement for good corporate governance for companies receiving Three-Year and One-Year Grants has proven to be a positive step for the growth of young companies. There had been some initial worries by some One-Year Grant companies about being monitored by a Board of ‘outsiders’, but most finally found the check-and-balance and accountability healthy to their development.

The fellowships and scholarships offered by most Committees and Multi-Project Grants provided by some provided a multi-tier grant system that caters to the different needs of artists and groups at various levels of development.

To nurture healthy development of the art forms, the concept of Devolved Funding is being tested out. The Drama Committee awarded grants to four organizations to enable them to fund artists in their projects.

SPREADING THE MESSAGE An important mission of the ADC is to encourage public awareness and appreciation of the arts. The ADC and Cable TV jointly presented a nine-episode television series on Cable TV’s News Channel 1. Each episode introduced one art form, with artists sharing their creative process with the public. During the year, the ADC also published a number of newspaper supplements to publicize its work.

FINANCE Block grant from the Home Affairs Bureau amounted to $113,427,000. The ADC succeeded in soliciting $39,935,436 from the Arts and Sports Development Fund and another $1,796,931 from donations. The total income came to $155,159,367.

Total expenditure amounted to $146,532,499. Spending pattern remained similar to the previous year — administration costs accounted for 11.27 %, Three-Year Grants and General Support Grants 36.47%, One-Year Grants 9.01 %, Project Grants 25.44 % and proactive projects 17.81 % of the total expenditure.

Owing to the late establishment of the Arts Committees in the year 2000 and insufficient time to launch some proactive projects, the ADC ended up with a small surplus of $8,626,868.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Secretary-General’s Report

THE WAY AHEAD Being the only statutory body in the new arts administration structure with nominated representatives of arts practitioners, the ADC has a unique and increasingly important role to play in the development and promotion of the arts. The Council’s experience in establishing tightly-managed systems, initiating proactive projects as well as its transparent mode of operation will serve as useful references for its continual development. In order to maximize our impact, it is vital that the ADC works Annual Review closely with other stakeholders in the new arts administration structure.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council The Artform Board established various channels to assist the

development of the six organisations under the Three-Year

Grant Scheme and the 16 organisations under the One-Year

Grant Scheme. It set up a special unit to follow up the Three-

Year Grant Scheme and drew up standard procedures to

monitor recipients of Three and One-Year Grants. In order to

enhance communication, the ADC sends Council members to

sit as observers in board meetings of the organisations that

have received Three-Year Grant. Recipients of Three and

One-Year Grants are required to submit quarterly reports to

the ADC on the progress of their activities and their daily

operations.

The Board also amended the undertaking signed by

parties that had received funding. The amended document Committees’ Reports makes it easier for subvented groups to understand the funding

conditions. Also added in the document are details pertaining

to the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance to protect the

interests of subvented parties.

On funding policy, the Board also drew up souvenir funding

guidelines to provide souvenirs for territory-wide competitions,

large-scale cultural activities and cultural exchange programmes.

The above-mentioned policies were set down by the Board to

perfect the grant system.

The Artform Board was officially dissolved on 31

December, 1999. The Board contributed to the drawing up

and improvement of funding policies, and to the performance

assessment of subvented projects. The Chairman of the

Committee, Prof Chan Wing-wah, would like to express his

gratitude to ex-Members of the Artform Board.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council As there have been instances of large discrepancies between amounts applied for and the

expenditure receipts of subvented item(s) to the ADC to simplify

administrative procedures. They need not submit full expenditure reports as before. Board form Art

Hong Kong Arts Development Council In response to the Government’s Enhanced Productivity

Programme, Hong Kong Arts Development Council accepted

Resource Management Board (RMB)’s recommendation to

achieve a 5% reduction of Government recurrent subvention

over four years’ time commencing 1999/2000.

Owing to inadequate space, RMB decided to expand

ADC’s Secretariat office. After comparing the rents of

different districts and discussing with the existing landlord,

RMB decided to rent an additional unit on the 10th floor of

the same building. Fitting up of the new office was completed

at the end of August 1999, and the ADC’s conference rooms

have been relocated to the new office.

The two funds, managed by RMB — Hong Kong Arts

Development Council Fund and Sir Joseph Hotung Arts

Education Endowment Fund, generated interest returns of

$662,496 and $68,672 respectively.

RMB continues to coordinate the application of funds

from the Arts and Sports Development Fund (ASDF) for

the ADC. During the year 1999/2000, the Board met its

target and successfully obtained $39,935,436 from the

fund – an increase of 65% over 1998/99. The funding from

ASDF has become a major source of funding for the ADC,

which represents 26% of the total income in 1999/2000.

During the year, RMB also completed a comprehensive

review of the Secretariat structure, including the ranking

and compensation of its staff.

The Resource Management Board, completed its

service on 31 December, 1999. The Chairman Prof Lo King-

man would like to thank ex-Members for their contribution

during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council In the past year, the Strategic Development Board (SDB)

organised a host of programmes and activities which focused

on arts and the media. In addition to holding forums which

discussed the role of the media in arts development and the

broad cultural shift over the Millennium, the Board also

presented the forum ‘Hong Kong Arts and Hong Kong

Characteristics’ in September 1999 to discuss Hong Kong

arts and its characteristics.

The SDB launched a television serial with Cable TV News

Channel for nine successive weeks — each episode covered a

specific art form, namely arts education, arts policy, dance,

drama, film and media arts, literary arts, music, visual arts

and xiqu. The 30-minute programmes showcased the different

art forms and aimed at educating the audience about the arts

by means of a simple and entertaining approach. In order to Committees’ Reports

generate more public interest in the arts, the SDB also

commissioned a production house to produce ‘Announcement

in Public Interest (API)’ which delivers a core message that the

arts are parts of everyday life.

The SDB also recognises the importance of nurturing

arts administrators who are crucial in broadening the arts

audience base. The Board offered Arts Administration

Scholarships to art administrators who have been working with

recipients of the ADC’s Three and One-Year Grants.

The SDB was officially dissolved on 31 December 1999.

The Chairman, Dr Patrick Ho, would like to thank ex-Members

for their contribution during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Two forums were organised with a focus on arts and the media.

‘Media and Arts Marketing’, held in June 1999, examined issues such as

coverage and news-worthiness of arts news, and the working relationship

between arts practitioners and the media. ‘Media Culture and Cultural Media —

Cultural Programming in Electronic Media’, held in December 1999,

brought together participants from Singapore, the Mainland,

Taiwan and key local media players to exchange views on a regional perspective. Development

directives and guidelines on funding policy and procedures for

the Arts Committees. It also acts as a coordinator among the

Arts Committees. While the Arts Committees concentrate on

formulating grant policies tailored for their art forms, the Grants

Committee undertakes coordination duties and ensures policy

and procedural consistency among the Committees. It

processes all Project Grant applications and makes funding

decisions based on the Examiners’ recommendations. It is also

in the meetings and contribute to the grant subsidy scheme of

the ADC.

In the coming year, the Grants Committee aims to take

on a pivotal role in consolidating the ADC’s grant subsidy scheme

and to improve on the monitoring of subvented projects.

The Chairman of the Committee, Prof Lo King-man, would

like to thank all Members of the Committee for their efforts

during the year.

In February and March 2000 alone, the Grants Committee

already handled 254 Project Grant applications during

its first two months’ operation. It has also reviewed and Grants streamlined the Council’s policy regarding extensions and

progress assessment of subvented projects.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council The Planning and Development Committee (PDC), newly

established in 2000, was set up after the restructuring of the

ADC. Membership of the PDC consists of Council Chairman,

Council Vice-Chairman and three to five Council Members

nominated by the Council. All members of the PDC must be

independent from any interests in the various art forms.

Mr Darwin Chen, the Council’s Vice-Chairman, was elected as

the first Chairman of the PDC. He will serve the Committee in

that capacity until 30 June 2000.

The PDC does not hold administrative powers but acts

as advisor to the Council. Its main responsibility is to advise

the Council on the following areas:

• • the Council’s planning;

• • the targets and strategies for development, and the setting

of priority items and performance indicators;

• • performance assessment of ADC projects (for both

subvented and proactive projects);

• • resource allocation regarding applications submitted by the

Arts Committees and the Secretariat;

• • coordination of work among various Committees to achieve

productivity enhancement;

• • ways to secure additional resources for the Council;

• • performance assessment of the Committees;

• • ensuring that the Secretariat initiates proactive projects that

meet the Council’s priority objectives.

Chairman of the Committee, Mr Darwin Chen, would

like to extend his gratitude to all Members of the Committee

during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Towards the end of 1999/2000, the Council endorsed the PDC’s proposal on its

targets and directions for development in the second-half of 2000/2001.

They include:

•

• improving internal cooperation to enhance efficiency and effectiveness

•

• fostering stronger community support for the arts

•

• enhancing Hong Kong’s cultural status internationally

•

• promoting the arts and building audiences through establishing partnerships

•

• strengthening the role of arts education in schools

•

• fostering a balanced arts field

•

• setting long-term strategic goals

•

• enhancing ADC’s image and credibility Committees’ Reports Development Committee and

Hong Kong Arts Development Council In 1999/2000, the Arts Education Committee (AEC) continues

to promote arts education at policy level, develop new

programmes and initiate relevant research on arts education.

After setting down its policy stand on arts education in

the paper ‘Creative Hong Kong 2000’ in early 1999, the AEC

subsequently responded to Education Commission’s two

consultation papers and published its views on the aims and

framework on education reform. These policy papers were well

received by the public and drew many responses. Over the

past three years, 34 schools have participated the

Artists–in–Schools programme. The AEC will continue to lobby

authorities to take over the project in order to maintain its

development.

Over 90 applicants from schools and teachers have

responded to AEC’s Award Scheme. To further encourage arts

education in schools, the Committee has commissioned the

production of an electronic arts education directory to facilitate

partnership between artists and schools.

With the increasing significance of arts education in

schools, it is necessary for artists to collaborate with teachers

and students in delivering arts education programmes. Two

pilot training workshops on dance and drama have been

organised by the AEC, with actual intake of participants

exceeding the target.

Researches on arts education models in schools and

the integrated arts curriculum have also been initiated during

the year — their findings will contribute towards enhancing the

role of arts education in the proposed new curriculum.

During the year, five focus groups have been arranged

to facilitate discussion on various issues concerning arts

education, the feedback has become another driving force for

the promotion of arts education.

The Chairman of the Committee, Mr Yu Shu-tak, and

the ex-Chairman, Mr Andrew Lam would like to thank all

Members and Co-opted Members of the Committee for their

efforts during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council Hong Kong Arts Development Council response to the Education Commission

paper ‘Review of Education System — Framework for Education Reform’:

It further asserts that arts education should not only be a major branch of core

studies, but can also facilitate the fulfilment of the educational functions of other

branches of learning. We welcome with great enthusiasm the designation of arts

education as one of the eight key learning areas...

Hong Kong Arts Development Council During the year, the Drama Committee introduced the Three-

Year Grant and the One-Year Grant schemes to support the

development of drama companies. Recipients of the Three-

Year Grants, namely Chung Ying Theatre, Zuni Icosahedron

and Ming Ri Theatre, play leading roles in the development of

main-stream, experimental and children’s theatre respectively.

To strive for diversity and promote excellence in drama, the

Committee provided One-Year Grants for nine companies,

namely the Exploration Theatre, Prospects Theatre, Theatre

Ensemble, Theatre du pif, No Man’s Land, Edward Lam Dance

Theatre, Actor’s Family, Theatre Space and On and On Theatre

Workshop. These companies have made distinctive contributions

in this year in scriptwriting, community theatre, drama education

and the exploration of alternative theatrical presentations.

Resources also went into supporting the International

Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong), a recipient of the

Artform Board’s One-Year Grant. This collaboration resulted

in the publication of ‘Dramatic Arts Performance in Hong Kong Committees’ Reports

from the Turn of the Century to 1945’, which filled a major

gap in the study of local drama development.

In line with the objectives set down in the ADC’s Five-

Year Strategic Plan, the Committee commissioned several

programmes, including the ‘Theatre & Education Conference

2000’, the ‘Drama Fellowship Scheme’ and the ‘Children’s

Theatre Seminar’.

The Drama Committee also initiated the Devolved Grant

Projects and earmarked $1.2 million for the new scheme. Four

companies have joined the scheme — Hong Kong Arts Centre,

the Federation of Drama Societies, Ming Ri Theatre and the

International Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong). They

received a grant of $300,000 each to fund and offer expertise

to selected groups or individuals on suitable projects. The new

arrangement allows more flexibility in supporting and serving

the drama community. The Committee plans to continue with

the devolved grant scheme in the coming financial year.

Chairman of the Drama Committee, Dr Cheung Ping-

kuen, expresses his gratitude to all Members and Co-opted

Members for their contribution during the year. 28

A large part of the resources of the Film and Media Arts

Committee (FMAC) went into supporting film, video and media

arts creative or production projects that hold artistic potential

but lack immediate attractiveness to commercial investors. In

1999/2000, a total of 31 projects received support. The

following films, supported by the FMAC, participated in local

and international film festivals during the year — ‘Blue August’

and ‘Far Away Eyes’ were shown in the 24th Hong Kong

International Film Festival, while ‘Forgetful Angel’ won the ‘Casa

di Risparmo di Firenze’ Cup at the 50th Montecatini Short

Film Festival.

Since young people form the largest group of potential

audience for film and the media arts, arts education projects

which were initiated by FMAC aimed at nurturing arts

appreciation and creativity in young people. Publications were

also supported to promote appreciation, criticism, research

and archiving which include ‘Planet Hong Kong’ (Chinese version),

‘The Structure and Marketing of Hong Kong Film Industry’ and

‘The Golden Age of Hong Kong Movies’. In 1999/2000, six

organisations received the Film and Media Arts One-Year

Grants.

During the year, the FMAC also commissioned three

proactive projects of strategic significance to the art form to

be realised in late 2000. Compilation of the ‘Independent Film

Production and Distribution Handbook’ will serve as a useful

guide for aspiring film-makers. The ‘Development of Electronic

Media Arts Research Project’ will provide insight into the needs

and problems of the media arts and help the Committee devise

a strategic plan of support. The television programme ‘No One’s

Driving’ will help in raising the profile of independent productions.

The FMAC Chairman, Mr Gordon Chan, would like to

thank Members and Co-opted Members for their invaluable

contribution during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council ‘No One’s Driving’ is a series of 15-minute television programmes initiated

by the FMAC in collaboration with Videotage, Cable Television and Commercial Radio.

Scheduled for broadcast on Cable Television in mid-2000, it is a pilot programme

which encourages submissions of creative works from the public.

The programme showcases interesting short film or video works by local artists,

irrespective of their experience and background. Through this project,

the public can learn of the fun and approachable nature of film and video arts. Arts Committees’ Reports Media and Committee

Hong Kong Arts Development Council To promote local literary arts, the Literary Arts Committee

(LAC) initiated, supported and commissioned over 245 literary

programmes in the past year. These programmes not only

provided high-quality publications for the public, but also reached

out to the community by involving a large number of local

participants in numerous literary activities which included talks,

exhibitions and writing competitions.

The LAC stresses the importance of literary education.

Since 1995, it has supported over 178 school literary

magazines in which 83 school literary magazines received

funding in 1999. The LAC also supported 124 book publication

projects, four research projects and one exchange project

during the year.

In addition to supporting meaningful literary projects, the

LAC also responded to the needs of the community — it

commissioned 19 creative writing projects, 10 literary

magazines and organised the ‘Hong Kong Literature

International Conference 1999’. It took a proactive role in Committees’ Reports

organizing different literary programmes, including the

‘Secondary School Creative Writing Scheme’, the setting up of

the Literary Arts Committee Booth in the Hong Kong Book

Fair and co-presented literary talks and reading programmes

with Provisional Urban Council Public Libraries.

The new LAC will take on a proactive role in project

planning and focus on supporting high-quality projects. It strives

to improve itself continuously, establish open and fair grant

allocations, promote co-operation among literary groups and

develop the literary arts.

The ex-Chairman, Prof Leung Ping-chung, and Chairman,

Dr Lan Hai-wen of the Committee would like to express their

gratitude to Members and Co-opted Members of the

Committee.

Three flagship performing arts companies received the Three-

Year Grant from the Music and Dance Committee (MDC). They

include the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, the Hong Kong Ballet and

the City Contemporary Dance Company. During the year, the

Hong Kong Sinfonietta featured a number of works on local

and Chinese composers in its concerts. The Hong Kong Ballet

staged seven productions, four of which are new, and went on

tour to Macau and seven major cities in north-eastern China.

The City Contemporary Dance Company staged six new works

and one re-run in Israel, Germany, Beijing, Macau and

Guangzhou, gaining substantial international limelight. To

increase the audience base, the three companies have also

run various outreach programme for young people. The Treble

Choir’s Association and the modern dance group Y-space were

selected as recipients of the 1999/2000 One-year Grants.

The creativity and artistic merit of works by local dance

groups and choreographers have gained increased international

recognition. During the year, a number of organisations including

Hong Kong Arts Centre, McMuiMui Dansemble, Miranda Chin

Dance (Mirandance) Company, South ‘ASLI’ Dance Workshop

and Three Colours received support from the Committee to

participate in major dance events in Japan, Singapore and the

Philippines.

To better serve the needs of the two art forms, music

and dance came to be served by two separate Committees

starting in 2000.

The Chairman of the former Music and Dance Committee

and the current Music Committee, Ms Barbara Fei, and

Chairman of the current Dance Committee, Mr Willy Tsao would

like to thank Members and Co-opted Members for their

invaluable contribution during the year.

Hong Kong Arts Development Council The Visual Arts Committee (VAC) has been highly productive in

1999/2000. The Committee introduced a series of proactive

projects to foster research and documentation activities. Five

projects, namely ‘Visual Arts Annual 1999’, ‘Index of Hong

Kong Visual Arts Practitioners’, ‘Visual Arts Bi-monthly

Magazine’, ‘Public Arts Research and Seminar’ and ‘Feasibility

Study on Setting up a Visual Arts Academy in Hong Kong’,

were commissioned to document local arts and cultural

activities, and to research on educational opportunities in the

visual arts. The results of these projects would benefit the

future and satisfy public needs for more updated information

on the visual arts in Hong Kong.

The fourth Fellowship Programme was conducted in

December 1999. The ‘Lifetime Achievement Award’ was

awarded to the late Mr Ho Ping-chung to acknowledge his

distinguished achievement in ceramics. ‘Fellowships for

Achievement’ went to Mr Van Lau and Mr Yang Shen-sum.

Another eight artists and art educators received ‘Fellowships Committees’ Reports

for Artistic Development’.

Ms Wong Chi-hang, Sara was chosen for the second

P.S.1. Visual Artist-in-Residence Programme to take up a one-

year residency at a studio provided by P.S.1. Contemporary

Arts Centre in New York from September 1999 to August

2000.

Nine energetic art groups with long-term visions received

VAC’s One-Year Grant to carry out project-based activities

with administrative support. They not only serve as VAC’s

partners to provide all-rounded opportunities for emerging and

established artists but also engage in cultural exchange activities

to foster global communication.

The Chairman, Mr Wong Shun-kit and the ex-Chairman

Mr Lee Kam-yin would like to extend their gratitude to all

Members and Co-opted Members for their valuable contribution

conducive to the development of the visual arts in Hong Kong.

Members mustrespecttheconfidentiality without specific authority or unless there is legal duty to do so.

All Members and Co-opted Members of the Council participate in the works of the Council on a voluntary basis.

In addition, all Members and the ADC’s employees must disclose their general pecuniary or other interests on appointment to the Council and report conflicts of interests as they arise. In any given situation, Members are required to ask themselves: ‘Would any objective and reasonable member of the public think that I might have interest in a given matter that might affect my judgment?’ If so, the Member should declare the interest and absent themselves from the meetings for the discussion, deliberation and decision of that particular matter. In making decisions, Members must be seen by the public as being free from any interest that might affect their judgment.

The ADC’s examiners, who are responsible to assess project grants, are required to disclose their interests as well. They are not allowed to participate in any examination works of that period if they involve in any situations with conflict of interests in relation to any quarter application.

When a Member has substantial interest in an application or has a major role in a commissioned project, the decision of a Committee will be vetted by the Ethics Committee (renamed the Discipline and Appeal Committee after 18 February, 2000). This Committee, comprising Council Chairman, Council Vice- Chairman, Chairman of the Artform Board and Chairman of the Resource Management Board, will review the decision and assessment procedures. After 18 February, 2000, the ADC Chairman and Vice Chairman, a representative from the Home Affairs Bureau and two committee members from Planning and Development Committee who do not have conflict of interests constitute the Discipline and Appeal Committee. In 1999/2000, conflict of interest cases vetted by the Ethics Committee and the Discipline and Appeal Committee involved Members on 11 cases and Co-opted Members on 29 cases.

The Hong Kong Arts Development Council’s 5-Year Strategic Plan outlines the ADC commitment to seeking additional sources of funds for the arts. This does not imply any abrogation of the Government’s own arts funding responsibilities. Rather, it is consistent with the ADC belief that the ideal platform for the future development of the arts is a judicious mix of government, public and private support.

During the year, the ADC was fortunate to receive generous donations from two parties: • The Hongkong Bank Foundation sponsored an amount of $1,409,000 for the ‘Artists-in- Schools 1999/2000’. Yuen Siu-fai and Chan H • The Rothschild Trust Corporation o-kau — ‘Lu Meng-zheng — A P oor Scholar’ (Photo: Tse Ming-chong) Limited sponsored $387,931 to the ‘HKADC Arts Scholarship Scheme 1999/2000’.

In addition, funds from the Arts Education Endowment Fund, established in 1996 following a generous donation of $1 million from Sir Joseph Hotung, founding Chairman of the Council, continued to enable the Council to initiate arts education projects. • The Council hopes to be able to encourage other individuals

• and companies to emulate these three parties. The Council is classified as a charitable organisation by the Inland Revenue Department, which means tax payers can claim an allowance for donations made to the Council.

No contracts concerning the management and administration of the whole or any substantial part of the operation of the Council were entered into or existed during the year.
