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 five rounds of the Scheme have been fully implemented during 2009-2026. East Kowloon Cultural Centre has implemented a two-year Venue Partnership Scheme and Artist-in-Residence Pilot Scheme during 2024-2026.

The enhanced sixth-round Scheme implements from April 2026 to March 2029 and seeks to nurture the artistic levels 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 level, thereby fostering the diversified and professional development of arts and culture.  Sixteen selected local arts groups and partnered arts organisations specialising in different art forms become the partners of 11 LCSD performance venues.  For more programme information of venue partnership activities, please visit the website of individual venues.
