Looking back, based on the corporate plan, we have implemented proactive and pragmatic development strategies to create a favourable environment conducive to the comprehensive and sustainable development of the arts and culture in Hong Kong. This is 2013 also the time for us to reap the harvest of our years of hard work, and I am delighted to share with you some of our important initiatives and encouraging achievements. Developing more space for the arts The ADC has been working relentlessly to engage various partners in opening up more creative and rehearsal space for the arts community. Despite all the challenges and diffculties, we fnally made signifcant achievements on this aspect. With the support of the Hip Shing Hong Group of Companies and ADC subvention from the Home Affairs Bureau, the “ADC Arts Space Scheme” was launched with its frst unit open in Wong Chuk Hang. 10,000 The Hip Shing Hong Group has leased a foor of an industrial building to the ADC at a below-market rate. The building is now 3001,000 being converted to commercial use. More than 10 studios with sizes ranging from 300 to 1,000 ft2 will be leased to local visual and 20136 media artists at affordable rental fees. The leasing exercise began in 2014 June 2013, and it received an overwhelming response. Its tenants are expected to move in by early 2014. We hope this successful project will set a good example for other property owners to follow and to support the development of local arts by leasing their premises with preferential rates to the arts community. The ADC is also working with Tai Po District Council and relevant 2014 government departments to study the feasibility of transforming Tai Po Government Secondary School (which will close in 2014) into an arts and cultural centre. Through mutual consultations, the ADC hopes to come up with an all-win plan that will meet the expectations of the District Council, the requirements of the district’s residents, and the development needs of the arts community. Although this project will be based in Tai Po, we believe it will greatly beneft the overall development of the arts in neighbouring districts and even the whole of Hong Kong. P 10 | 11 Apart from these two projects and development models, what other feasible and creative ways can we use to expand the space available for the arts? For example, is it practical to make the provision of space designated for artistic and cultural use a mandatory condition of land sales for property projects? That may be an area in which the ADC and government can work together in the future. Fostering public participation Audience building is a long and painstaking process without any shortcuts, and one that must be pursued with perseverance. 35 Last year, the ADC in collaboration with the Radio Television Hong Kong produced Artspiration, a 35-episode television series on arts and culture. The programmes extended the reach of the arts to local household through two free TV channels, the Internet and 20139 social media. With the support of viewers and the arts community, Artspiration II will be launched in September 2013. Through these programmes and ArTour – a television segment produced in collaboration with Cable TV’s Culture Plus – Hong Kong viewers can learn more about the diversity of the arts in Hong Kong. While discussing the feasibility of setting up a new TV channel devoted to arts and culture, we are continuing with our strategy of building audiences by producing a wide variety of arts 2013 programmes to be aired in existing TV channels. 2013 Hong Kong Dance Festival 2013 and the Literary Arts Platform 2010 Project were two other projects launched this year to promote the arts and encourage public participation. Following its success in 2010, this year’s Dance Festival was another major collaborative project with the Hong Kong dance community. With its theme “Unleash Creativity Dance On”, the festival showcased the city’s creativity in dance through a number of innovative presentations and at the same time, encouraged public participation. The Literary Arts Platform Project was to cultivate and enhance public awareness, interests and ability to appreciate literary arts, through the promotion of literary criticism, reading and writing by local 4,000 newspapers. This will help create a favourable milieu for the development of literature in Hong Kong. The Arts Ambassadors-in-School Scheme is now in its
