"We are deeply encouraged that some of the arts groups have continuously contributed to the development of high-quality arts, culture and creative industries, and are recognized by the China National Arts Fund again.
"The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue to leverage our cultural characteristics, which are rooted in Chinese culture and embracing Western culture, to enhance international cultural exchanges and promote people-to-people bonds, further consolidating Hong Kong's position as an East-meets-West center for international cultural exchange."
The China National Arts Fund adjudication panel, after assessment, selected 818 projects out of 11,091 formal applications for the 2025 list.
