HKADC Project Grant Analysis 2000 – 2014

Established in 1995, the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (ADC) has been charged with the distribution of arts funding for twenty years. This report looks into the allocation of resources to visual arts against other art forms, and among various sub-categories among the visual arts, from 2000 to 2013. The data in this report dates from 2000 when the funding model and administrative structure were restructured into the primitive version that we see today. While HKADC’s funding system classifies projects and arts groups into ten major categories for funding support, a new categorization has been applied in this study, with the aim to provide a more accurate focus on resources allocation across the various art forms between the grant years 2000/2001 and 2013/2014.
