Post-policy address: Opportunities for Cultural and Creative Industries in Hong Kong

Post-policy address: Opportunities for Cultural and Creative Industries in Hong Kong

According to the 2017 Policy Address announced by the government in October, Hong Kong cultural and creative industries have immense potential, to engage with more enterprises and community locally and enhance its influence beyond the borders of the city. There has been new policies and schemes for this industry, such as the new injection of $1 billion into the CreateSmart Initiative, as well as the opportunities that could be explored due to the Belt and Road Initiative.

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association has invited representatives from Commerce and Economic Development Bureau and Home Affairs Bureau to talk about the policy directions and future planning on further developing cultural and creative industries in Hong Kong. It will be a great opportunity for local arts practitioners to understand the government policies better and have constructive dialogues with representatives of the government.

政情：表演場地不足 馮海容 黎穎瑜 遭藝團圍攻] - 東方日報 [17-11-2017]

本港藝術場地不足及支援唔夠，一向都衍生唔少問題。民政事務局局長政治助理黎穎瑜（Jade）同商務及經濟發展局局長政治助理馮海容（Elizabeth）日前出席藝術行政人員協會嘅一個講座時，被多個藝團圍攻本港場地不足等問題，兩個政助一個就承認可能要改例，一個就話有責任開拓表演場地，但好多場地問題都關其他局事喎。

回顧一場對話：香港藝術文化政策何去何從？] - Initium Media [24-11-2017]

​兩位政治助理提及，香港在未來幾年有計劃興建更多硬件，但並未提及會否顧及室外場地，抑或只會專注於室內設施。對一個完善規劃的城市而言，室內和室外設施自然都是必需。然而，當香港的官方對場地似乎毫無頭緒的時候，市民亦只能期望設施起碼是可以正常使用，而非無法使用得破壞城市形象。
