Abstract
Authored by five specialists with balanced expertise in arts and culture, Inside Hong Kong’s Arts and Cultural Scene is an insightful guide to the city’s thriving sector. In its twenty-eight chapters, Lo and his co-authors Okpoti, Hsu, Anghelescu, and Chiu reflect about the city’s unique blend of global cultures seen through an arts management lens. In the conversations with leading industry professionals, Lo et al. trace the socio-economic impacts of arts festivals and fairs in Hong Kong, examine the city’s position as the Asian centre for arts and culture, and investigate the direction the industry is heading. The inside knowledge, abundant experiences, and varied perspectives documented cover key areas in the fields of arts management and cultural policy research including arts infrastructure, funding, leadership, censorship, entrepreneurship, and technology.
