香港藝術(shù)發(fā)展局（藝發(fā)局）于1995年成立，是政府制定全方位發(fā)展香港藝術(shù)政策的法定機(jī)構(gòu)。藝發(fā)局的角色包括資助、倡議、推廣及發(fā)展、策劃活動(dòng)等。

藝發(fā)局致力扶植具潛質(zhì)的藝團(tuán)，除了給予一、二、三年度資助支持其運(yùn)作的活動(dòng)經(jīng)費(fèi)外，今年更新設(shè)獨(dú)立平臺(tái)“優(yōu)秀藝團(tuán)計(jì)劃”，通過五年資助，進(jìn)一步培養(yǎng)本地專業(yè)藝術(shù)團(tuán)體和藝術(shù)工作者卓越成長(zhǎng)。本局亦設(shè)有計(jì)劃資助，讓藝術(shù)家開展不同類型的藝術(shù)計(jì)劃。近年，我們的藝術(shù)家在海外交流的機(jī)會(huì)大增，政府亦隨之大力支持本局的文化交流資助，讓更多藝術(shù)家走出去。為聯(lián)結(jié)社會(huì)各界，鼓勵(lì)民間參與，本局特別成立配對(duì)資助計(jì)劃，吸引更多企業(yè)贊助及私人捐款，以最高“一比一倍半”的捐助比例資助藝團(tuán)，期望進(jìn)一步促進(jìn)藝術(shù)發(fā)展。

The Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC)was established in 1995. It is the statutory body for the government to formulate a comprehensive development of Hong Kong arts. The role of the ADC includes funding,policy and planning,initiatives,promotion and development,and planning activities.

The organization is committed to supporting potential arts groups,and besides providing funding for activities to support its operations in terms of 1,2 or 3 year(s),the "Excellent Artists Group Scheme"will be set up on an independent platform to further enable local professional arts groups and artists to grow brilliantly this year through 5 years of funding. There are also program grants for artists to carry out different types of projects. The recent years witness the growing opportunities for our artists to engage in overseas exchange proograms. The government has also strongly supported the cultural exchanges with the funding of this Council to allow more artists to go out. In order to link the community and encourage private participation,this Council has set up a matching funding scheme to attract more corporate sponsorships and private donations. It will sponsor the arts group with the maximum ratio of"one to one-and-a-half",so as to further promote the development of art.
