The Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) is inviting local performing arts groups and organisations to submit proposals for a new round of the three-year Venue Partnership Scheme from April 2018 to March 2021. The deadline for submissions is 5.30pm on March 31.
      
     The Venue Partnership Scheme aims to foster partnerships between LCSD's performance venues and performing arts groups and organisations, with the objectives of enhancing the artistic image and character of the venue and its partner, enlarging the audience base, optimising usage of facilities, developing venue-based marketing strategies, encouraging community involvement in arts development, and promoting arts in the community. The third round of the Venue Partnership Scheme was launched in April 2015 and will end in March 2018.
      
     The new round of the Scheme will be implemented at 12 performance venues, namely Hong Kong City Hall, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Ngau Chi Wan Civic Centre, Sai Wan Ho Civic Centre, Sheung Wan Civic Centre, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Tsuen Wan Town Hall, Sha Tin Town Hall, North District Town Hall, Tuen Mun Town Hall, Yuen Long Theatre and Yau Ma Tei Theatre.
      
     The Invitation for Proposals document is available at all LCSD performance venues and can be downloaded from www.lcsd.gov.hk/vps.
