Following the success of the exhibition in the 53rd Venice Biennale, the ADC joined hands with the Guangdong Museum of Art and Hong Kong Museum of Art to organise a response exhibition. The exhibition would bring the series of unique and creative works of local artist Pak Sheung-chuen to Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

As the sole statutory body set up for the development of local arts and culture, the ADC is very concerned about the recently introduced policy on revitalising industrial buildings which may have impact on the local arts and cultural sector. We will actively collect and reflect the views of the arts and cultural sector on the Policy of Revitalising Industrial Buildings to the respective government department responsible for arts and cultural issues, land policy and creative industries.

The ADC calls for local arts professionals to apply for the Hong Kong Scholarship on the Clore Leadership Programme 2010/11. The Scholarship supports outstanding and talented candidates with leadership potential to undertake a series of leadership training programmes in the United Kingdom to broaden their international exposure.

Venice Architecture Biennale is the most spectacular and influential architecture exhibition in the world. To ride on the first and successful debut presentation in Venice Biennale 2006 and subsequent participation in 2008, HKIA is collaborating with Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) in the continued participation in the Venice Biennale 12th International Architectural Exhibition 2010 (VB2010) in Venice.

Pursuant to Section 3(4) of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council Ordinance, the Chief Executive may appoint up to 10 persons nominated by the specified arts interests to be members of the HKADC. As the current term of office of the HKADC members will expire on 31 December 2010, The Home Affairs Bureau (HAB) will conduct an exercise for nominating 10 representatives of the specified arts interests (nomination exercise) for the HKADC for the next term commencing 1 January 2011. Before the launch of the nomination exercise, HAB wishes to consult the arts sector and interested members of the public on the arrangements of the exercise.
