An excellent ceremony aside, the HKADA don’t do enough to promote winners outside Hong Kong or help them network, John Batten says
The 19th Hong Kong Arts Development Awards were held at Hong Kong City Hall on June 10, organised by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC). This annual event acknowledges achievements in many categories, but as an art critic, I was watching the visual arts prizes closely.
The artist of the year award (visual arts) went to Enoch Cheng Tak-yan, while the young artist award (visual arts) went to Dony Cheng Hung. Cash prizes of HK$50,000 (US$6,400) and HK$25,000 respectively were awarded.
Cross-disciplinary artist-curator Enoch Cheng has fingers in many pies. He was the curator of gallery programmes at the Hong Kong art fair Art Central in March, and in 2024, he directed and translated the play Jerome Bel at the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
