Future of the Fringe Club / History of tattoos
主持人：Jim Gould and Paul Zimmerman
On Monday's Backchat, we're talking about the future of the Fringe Club in Central, which could have a new operator after its lease expires next April.
Located on Lower Albert Road, the 131-year-old former Daily Farm building has hosted live concerts, shows and exhibitions over the years, showcasing local and international artists.
Nonprofit organisations, including the current operator, are now being invited to submit proposals to the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau to manage the venue for a three-year period.
The bureau says it's looking for an operator that can "maintain and develop the premises as a unique arts and culture icon."
How important is the status of the Fringe Club in promoting arts in the community? How can its stature be maintained, or enhanced?
After 9:45, we look into the history of tattoos, following an exhibition over the weekend.
