Interested individuals may obtain the application form from the HKCC Enquiries Counter from today (June 5) or download it from the website (www.hkculturalcentre.gov.hk).

The HKCC launched its Arts and Crafts Fair in 2001. To further promote creativity, the HKCC will invite experienced non-profit-making community organisations from the second half of this year onwards to become partners to run markets of different kinds and themes and offer handicrafts and arts services that are even more novel and colourful. The HKCC will provide the venue and supporting services. The new scheme, entitled "Creative Market in Partnership @ HKCC", will bring together creative talents through various partners and add fresh vibrancy to the HKCC's arts and crafts events.
