Guidelines for setting up arts council sent
A set of guidelines for representative arts organisations and for their nominees for membership of the statutory Hong Kong Arts Development Council has been sent to some 350 arts groups today (Monday).
A spokesman for the Recreation and Culture Branch said the Council would be set up as a statutory body on June 1 this year under the Hong Kong Arts Development Council Ordinance which was enacted by the Legislative Council last Wednesday.
Under the ordinance, he said, the Council shall consist of a chairman, a vice- chairman, 16 non official members, each of whom shall be appointed by the Governor, and four ex-officio members.
The 16 non official members will include persons drawn from each of nine specified categories of arts interests, namely: literary arts, music, dance, drama, visual arts, film arts, arts administration, arts education and arts criticism.
The ordinance, he noted, also allows for the introduction of a mechanism whereby organisations representing each of those interests may each nominate one person for consideration by the Governor for appointment as a member of the Council.
"In this connection, the guidelines are to help the arts community to organise themselves. put forward organisations for specification to represent them and select their nominees," he said.
