Presented by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC), a special forum on 2022 HK Art Scene: Global Opportunities and Challenges will be held on 18 September, 2022 (Sunday) at Shouson Theatre. Key arts and cultural leaders in the city will reflect on the current art scene and its development before and after the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), enlightening us on how to better embrace upcoming opportunities and meet corresponding challenges on a global scale. This forum is an accredited event celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and is also a celebration of the 45th anniversary of the establishment of the HKAC.
To highlight these two milestones, the forum will review the key infrastructures through which our art scene is navigating – how they have come about and where they should go. Two key infrastructural areas are identified – multi-arts complexes possessing physical spaces and venues, and institutions which have fundamentally changed the demand and supply chain of artistic creations and products. Key leading players in the field will share their views in the forum, and will be in a collective panel discussion to share their perspectives. The speakers and the panellists will examine the challenges in the present conditions, and explore the possibility of future arts and cultural development in different facets in response to the global and current socioeconomic situation.
Officiating guests at the forum will include: Mr. LAU Chun, Raistlin, JP, Under Secy for Culture, Sports and Tourism; The Honourable Kenneth FOK Kai-kong, JP, the LegCo Member; and Mr. Bryant LU, JP, Deputy Chairman, Board of Governors of the Hong Kong Arts Centre.

About Hong Kong Arts Centre
This year marks the 45th Anniversary of the Hong Kong Arts Centre.
Since 1977, the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC) has been a platform for nurturing and supporting artists, and infusing art into everyday life. Its unique arts and educational programmes aim to make the arts accessible for all. The HKAC believes in the transformational power of art for people from all walks of life. Established for more than four decades, the HKAC endeavours to bring arts to the people of Hong Kong – by presenting programmes for visual arts, performing arts, moving images and media arts, comics and animation. Our other areas also cover arts education, conferences, festivals, public art and community projects. All with the vision and mission of engaging and inspiring creativity in the Hong Kong community.
In 2000, HKAC founded its education arm, Hong Kong Art School (HKAS). The HKAS provides award-bearing programmes to nurture artists and art practitioners, as well as short enrichment courses for the general public. The HKAC aspires to engage everyone in the community to become an active participant in the arts – as an enthusiast, an artist or a patron.
Let’s continue to embrace ‘Art for Passion, Art for Life, Art for All’, and share the inspiration.
