The Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) is a statutory body in Hong Kong tasked with development of the arts in the territory.

The HKADC was created in 1995, under the Hong Kong Arts Development Council Ordinance, Chapter 472, replacing the former Council of Performing Arts. It advises the government on cultural policy for Hong Kong and allocates grants, undertakes advocacy, promotion and development, and plans programmes, in support of the arts.[1]
