The Databank has compiled records of arts events and exhibitions from the “Arts Yearbook” projects, as well as the statistics from the “Hong Kong Annual Arts Surveys”. It has also included feature articles from the “Year Overview in Arts” projects.

The Databank aims to provide a convenient way for the public to search for information on Dance, Theatre, Xiqu and Music performances, and on Visual Arts exhibitions held in Hong Kong over the years; and to illustrate the major happenings and phenomena in the respective years, in order to understand the developments and achievements of local arts from multiple angles.

Interviews of selected veteran arts practitioners are filmed. Relevant materials and physical objects provided by the interviewers are gathered and organised collectively. The project serves to record the biographical and anecdotal information on video, and to preserve information that enriched the interview in a timely way.
