	Department of Cultural and Religious Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

For a healthy cultural development, the nurturing and co-existence of a broad spectrum of cultural spaces, both big and small, private and public, is required to meet the social and cultural needs of a community.

As part of the Asia Cultural Co-operation Forum, this symposium and workshop brings together professionals from some of the world's most important art organizations, from the major public museum to the smaller artist-run space, to discuss the importance of multiple platforms from which to communicate contemporary art today.
