当下生态与未来面向：香港艺发局的角色定位与艺术推展策略

香港艺术发展局（艺发局）于1995年成立，是政府制定全方位发展香港艺术政策的法定机构。艺发局的角色包括资助、倡议、推广及发展、策划活动等。

艺发局致力扶植具潜质的艺团，除了给予一、二、三年度资助支持其运作的活动经费外，今年更新设独立平台“优秀艺团计划”，通过五年资助，进一步培养本地专业艺术团体和艺术工作者卓越成长。本局亦设有计划资助，让艺术家开展不同类型的艺术计划。近年，我们的艺术家在海外交流的机会大增，政府亦随之大力支持本局的文化交流资助，让更多艺术家走出去。为联结社会各界，鼓励民间参与，本局特别成立配对资助计划，吸引更多企业赞助及私人捐款，以最高“一比一倍半”的捐助比例资助艺团，期望进一步促进艺术发展。

The Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC)was established in 1995. It is the statutory body for the government to formulate a comprehensive development of Hong Kong arts. The role of the ADC includes funding,policy and planning,initiatives,promotion and development,and planning activities.

The organization is committed to supporting potential arts groups,and besides providing funding for activities to support its operations in terms of 1,2 or 3 year(s),the "Excellent Artists Group Scheme"will be set up on an independent platform to further enable local professional arts groups and artists to grow brilliantly this year through 5 years of funding. There are also program grants for artists to carry out different types of projects. The recent years witness the growing opportunities for our artists to engage in overseas exchange proograms. The government has also strongly supported the cultural exchanges with the funding of this Council to allow more artists to go out. In order to link the community and encourage private participation,this Council has set up a matching funding scheme to attract more corporate sponsorships and private donations. It will sponsor the arts group with the maximum ratio of"one to one-and-a-half",so as to further promote the development of art.
