************************************************************
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is inviting local performing arts groups/organisations to submit proposals for the Venue Partnership Scheme at Yuen Long Theatre. The deadline for submissions is 5.30pm on January 5, 2009 (Monday).
The LCSD had earlier invited performing arts groups/organisations to submit proposals for the Venue Partnership Scheme at different performing arts venues. Venue partners have been selected for 10 performing arts venues, but no suitable venue partner has been identified for Yuen Long Theatre.
The Venue Partnership Scheme aims to foster partnerships between the performing arts venues and performing arts groups/organisations with the objectives of building up the artistic image and character of the venue, enlarging the audience base, optimising usage of facilities, developing venue-based marketing strategies, facilitating solicitation of corporate/private sponsorship and encouraging community involvement in the development of the arts.
For details, please refer to the Invitation for Proposals document available at all LCSD performing arts venues. It can also be downloaded from the website: www.lcsd.gov.hk/vps.
For enquiries, please call 2601 8004.
