Talks & Events

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA) strives to support the advancement of a flourishing arts scene by establishing a network connecting arts administrators in local and neighbor areas.

Following the huge success of our previous Recruitment Days, HKAAA is launching its sixth large-scale recruitment day at HKICC Lee Shau Kee School of Creativity on 6 October 2018 (Sat) to supply different levels of jobs in the arts field.

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association Recruitment Day 2018 will serve as a free platform for participating arts organizations and job seekers, offering an opportunity for on-location job application and interview. HKAAA will also organize on-site career talks, so as to deepen job seekers' understanding towards the direction of the career path.

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA) is honoured to co-present with the Sir Edward Youde Scholars Association (SEYSA) and it is our pleasure to invite their representative and Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund past scholarship awardees for a sharing session on how the scholarship could open doors for Hong Kong arts practitioners. The scholarship aims at financing outstanding local and overseas studies, and the recipients of the scholarship are expected to contribute significantly to the development of Hong Kong after graduation. We believe that this event will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about the scholarship and how it could help the awardees a step closer to their dreams.

In recent years, the development of the local arts and culture scene has flourished, with the completion of cultural venues integrating art and conservation such as the heritage buildings in Central, the establishment of major international exhibitions, art fairs and auctions, and the use of arts and cultural elements in commercial institutions, shopping malls and hotels. The new performing and visual arts venues set to open in the West Kowloon Cultural District will also increase the need for talent in the areas of cultural management and arts administration.

Creative collaboration between arts practitioners from different parts of the world could stimulate innovative ideas and enrich each other’s cultural programmes. Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association (HKAAA) is honored to co-present with Yale-China Association, for a sharing session on how this fellowship could open doors for Hong Kong artists. This fellowship will bring emerging artists from Hong Kong to Yale University for a six-month residency from January through June in 2019 and provide a platform to collaborate with American artists and communities. This event will be an excellent chance to meet Yale-China’s Director of Hong Kong as well as past fellows of the programme and learn about Yale-China’s history and arts initiatives.

香港藝術界發展蓬勃，吸引不少年青人投身藝術行政人員的行業。在忙錄的工作之中，藝術行政人員有沒有機會抽離日常固定軌跡，思考個人在藝團、以至藝術圈的生態系統上，希望扮演怎樣的角色，並如何達到目標？大家又如何以創新的方法，解決工作上經常面對的挑戰，以及尋找更多合作伙伴呢？

Knowing well the data-driven marketing that would be the advantage of reaching out the right target audiences.
Going digital allows advertisers to gather information in great precision and reaching out the right target audiences. Ad Age pointed out that “Data still keeps marketers and advertisers up at night. Moreover, it is an area that many advertisers (and their host of partners) will be assessing ahead of 2018.”

In the age of globalization, many artistic entrepreneurs, while having one eye firmly fixed on their home turf, boldly set their sights on the international arena to expand the reach and impact of their arts. But where to look and how to start? And who to turn to make the first move or expand your network?

Hong Kong Arts Administrators Association launched “Meet the Arts Leaders” Series since last year, inviting outstanding arts leaders from different arts forms to share their precious experience from career and their philosophy.
