Preamble

Launched in 2009, the Venue Partnership Scheme supports arts development by promoting partnerships between performance venues of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and arts groups/organisations.  The first four rounds of the Scheme have been fully implemented during 2009-2022.  The fifth round of the Scheme implements from April 2022 to March 2026.  For more programme information, please visit the website of individual venues.  The LCSD also initiates a two-year Venue Partnership Scheme and Artist-in-Residence Pilot Scheme at the EKCC from April 2024 to March 2026, please visit the website for information.

Results of the sixth round of the Venue Partnership Scheme

The LCSD will implement the new (sixth) round of the Venue Partnership Scheme for three years from April 2026 to March 2029.  The enhanced sixth-round Scheme seeks to nurture the artistic level and competitiveness of venue partners, strengthen venue identities, incentivise the good use of existing facilities to present more venue-suiting programmes and encourage the development of performing arts at the community levels, thereby fostering the diversified and professional development of arts and culture.

16 selected local arts groups and partnered arts organisations specialising in different art forms will become the partners of 11 LCSD performance venues.  Please click here for the list of Venue Partners.
