2013 Nomination of Representatives of Art Interests for the Hong Kong Arts Development Council

The Council of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) comprises of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and twenty-five Members. Ten out of the twenty-five members are selected through a “Nomination of Representatives of Arts Interests” exercise (dubbed “the Election” by arts practitioners and the media) held once every three years. The ten “arts interests” are “Arts Administration”, “Arts Criticism”, “Arts Education”, “Chinese Opera (Xiqu)”, “Dance”, “Drama”, “Film Arts”, “Literary Arts”, “Music” and “Visual Arts”. The term of office of the members before the election would expire on December 31, 2013. ADC therefore had to conduct the eighth nomination exercise within 2013 so that members serving a new term from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016 could be elected.
