Outgoing chairman Henry Tang confident arts hub will be self-sufficient with government’s approval of new financing structure in 2024
Bernard Chan, vice-chairman of the board that manages Hong Kong’s arts district in West Kowloon, will succeed Henry Tang Ying-yen as chairman on October 1. Chan has pledged to boost revenue and reduce the hub’s deficit by making more of its operations commercially viable.
The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority announced on Tuesday that Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu had appointed Chan as the board’s chairman for a two-year term, as Tang’s tenure had been renewed three times previously.
The West Kowloon Cultural District comprises the M+ modern art museum, the Hong Kong Palace Museum, the Xiqu Centre for Chinese opera, and other facilities and properties.
