Background
For the financial year 2014/15, the nine major Performing Arts Organizations (otherwise known as the ‘Big Nine’) secured over HK$330 million of direct funding from the government, while the Arts Development Council only received about HK$120 million, aimed to support the remaining pool of performing and visual arts organizations. This disparity has been the situation in Hong Kong for decades and it raises several issues worthy of discussions. The conference seeks to explore and discuss possibilities for performing arts organizations outside the ‘Big Nine’, in this current macro-environment. Possible topics include:
1. New thinking and directions in managing smaller performing arts organizations in Hong Kong.
2. New directions/ shifts in funding policies in Hong Kong.
3. New directions in fundraising for performing arts organizations outside the Big Nine.
4. The role of major performing arts organizations (the Big Nine) in the development of the performing arts landscape in Hong Kong.
5. Discussions of case studies from outside Hong Kong.
背景
在財政年度2014至2015年間，香港最主要的九個表演藝術團體（以下簡稱“九大”）獲得來自政府超過3.3億的財政撥款，而與此同時，香港藝術發展局卻只拿到大概1.2億的政府撥款，用以支持其他表演藝術和視覺藝術機構。這樣的情況在香港持續時間之久，並且也帶出了一些值得探討議題。研討會旨在挖掘和探討“九大”以外的表演藝術團體在如今的大環境下，繼續向前發展的可能性。相關的話題有：
1. 管理香港中小型表演藝術團體的新思考和新方向。
2. 香港藝術資金政策的新方向/轉變
3. “九大”以外表演藝術團體募集資金的新方向
4. 主要的表演藝術團體（“九大”）所能扮演的角色。
5. 香港之外的案例研究討論。
