The Recreation and Culture Branch has published a set of draft guidelines for representative arts organisations and for persons whom they nominate to the proposed statutory Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
Under the Hong Kong Arts Development Council Bill, the Council shall consist of a Chairman, a Vice-chairman, 16 members and four ex officio members.
Out of the 16 members, up to nine persons can be nominated by arts organisations representing the following interests:
literary arts
music
dance
drama
visual arts
film arts
arts administration
arts education
arts criticism
"The draft guidelines lay down the various conditions to be fulfilled by the arts organisations and their nominees," a spokesman for the Recreation and Culture Branch said today (Sunday).
"However, they are illustrative rather than mandatory and should in no circumstances be interpreted as restricting the Governor from exercising his discretion or from taking into account other factors when deciding on the appointment of members of the Council," he added.
Members of the public are welcomed to send their comments on the guidelines to the Recreation and Culture Branch before the end of this month.
Copies of the guidelines are available at the Culture Division, 40th floor, Revenue Tower, 5 Gloucester Road, Hong Kong. Enquiries can be directed to Ms Iris Tung on tel 2594 5625.
