Featured in this issue: The first phase of the West Kowloon Cultural District project, slated to be completed in stages by 2014, has created an unprecedented demand for talent in the arts amidst a volatile labour market.

With this issue, we celebrate the unveiling of Artnews, a reincarnated version of ADC Newsletter.
