************************************************************
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department has extended the deadline for local performing arts groups/organisations to submit proposals for a "Venue Partnership Scheme" to be introduced at some of its performing arts venues. The deadline is now 5.30pm on Friday, September 7.
The scheme will be introduced at 11 performing arts venues, aiming to foster a partnership between the venues and performing arts groups/organisations. The objectives are to build up the artistic image and character of the venue, enlarge the audience base, optimise usage of facilities, develop venue-based marketing strategies, facilitate solicitation of corporate/private sponsorship and encourage community involvement in the development of the arts.
For details, please refer to the Invitation for Proposals document available at all Leisure and Cultural Services Department performing arts venues. It can also be downloaded from the website: www.lcsd.gov.hk/vps.
For enquiries, please call 2601 8004.
