Message from the Chairman, Board of Governors,Mrs. Cissy Pao Watari, BBS2008/2009 was a year of challenges, transformation and renewal for the <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> <strong>Arts</strong><strong>Centre</strong> and I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the members of the Board of Governors,committees and staff who contributed their time and energy not only for the <strong>Centre</strong> but also for thecultural growth of <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>.Since the third quarter of 2008, the global financial crisis has created a lot of uncertaintyand risk to the economy. Being a self-financed, non-profit making institution, inevitable, the <strong>Centre</strong>faced more stringent resources. Fortunately, our members and staff have kept the <strong>Centre</strong> wellpositionedto face the challenges and opportunities during these hard times. Our extensive and deepexperience has enabled us to continue and to enhance the <strong>Centre</strong>’s mission.<strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> Art School’s new Shau Kei Wan Campus, was transformed amazingly into apurpose-built art institute in the summer of 2009. We enhanced and intensified the organizedprogrammes and were thoroughly satisfied with the outcome of a series of art programmes rangingfrom exhibitions, competitions, screenings, talks and seminars to performances. Our Street MusicSeries, a new monthly programme, which aims to provide alternative platforms for young anddeveloping talents, has successfully drawn the involvement of audiences and created a strong impacton the cult scene.While keeping abreast of the development of the West Kowloon Cultural District, the<strong>Centre</strong> will continue to optimize its limited resources to fashion art plans that balance the dual aims ofpursuing artistic incubation and education, in addition to embracing and involving all sections of thecommunity in the realms of the arts in <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>.5

Message from the Executive DirectorMs. Connie Lam2008-09 has been a challenging year for the <strong>HKAC</strong> and myself. The financial tsunami andthe outbreak of human swine influenza have dealt a heavy blow to the global economy which hasadded more challenges to me in my first year as Executive Director of the <strong>HKAC</strong>, I have been servingthis unique centre for over twelve years, and the <strong>HKAC</strong> has become my second home. Through theyears, I have held a firm and constant belief that with the <strong>Centre</strong>’s strong heritage, and with solidexperience, perseverance and the dedicated efforts of our colleagues, it will become more and moreprominent in the arts scene and the community.This year, we have marked a new and unique milestone, stretching our arm from Wanchaito Shaukeiwan where we have established our new school premises . With the united goal ofproviding quality art education to the community, every member of the centre has dedicatedthemselves completely to work towards this aim through the provision of comprehensive and holisticart education, further bridging art and the community.In the coming years, arts education and arts development will continue to be hot topics,not just here in <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> but also around the world, and the <strong>HKAC</strong> will continue to play a leading rolein actively supporting the art community, and reaching art into our daily lives.10
