Tyreek Hill will cover pay for photographer suspended by NFL
Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill said Thursday he will pay the salary of the photographer who had his sideline credential suspended by the NFL.
Kevin Fitzgibbons, who was contracted by the NFL to shoot Dolphins home games, was involved in Hill’s touchdown celebration in Week 6 against the Panthers. Hill grabbed Fitzgibbons’ cell phone after scoring and filmed himself doing a back flip.
Hill was penalized for celebrating with a prop but was not fined. Fitzgibbons, though, announced on social media he lost his credential for the remainer of the season and “possibly for good.”
Hill, who absolved Fitzgibbons of blame in his postgame interview in Week 6, said Thursday he and Fitzgibbons are longtime friends.
“Me and K-Fitz, we’ve got a long history together,” Hill said, via Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN. “The news is something that I already knew. I told him, ‘Don’t let this get to you. Just hold your head up. You’re still young. Continue to do what you love.’ Me and him are going to continue to work together.
“I told him I was going to cover his salary, whatever the NFL was going to pay him or whatever. I told him I was going to make sure that I do what’s right and take care of you, make sure you’re not out of a job. That’s my guy.”
The video went viral, with more than 4.5 million views on TikTok and 100,000 likes on Instagram.
Why Hong Kong is the region’s thriving arts hub
From the moment Lindsey McAlister arrived in Hong Kong from Britain in the 1980s, she knew she wanted to devote herself to helping the city’s disadvantaged and underprivileged youth “find a voice” through experiencing, co-creating and collaborating in the arts.
In 1993, the theatre practitioner founded her not-for-profit organisation Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (HKYAF) – originally known as Hong Kong Youth Arts Festival. It organises high-quality, inclusive and inspirational visual arts projects and drama, music and dance performances for the city’s children and young adults, aged five to 25, regardless of their culture, background, ability or the language they speak.
“This is the magical thing that I’ve been brought here to do,” McAlister says.
“The idea was to create a platform where young people could come together to co-create and collaborate in the arts, and to find a voice. Working in the arts in Hong Kong is very exciting.”
Hong Kong’s share of the global art market rose from 17.5 per cent in 2019 to 23.2 per cent in 2020 – when it overtook London for the first time, renowned online art resource Artnet Worldwide Corporation reported.
“Hong Kong has developed itself as a market; we are now the second biggest art market in the world,” says Arthur de Villepin, co-founder of Villepin Gallery, a Hong Kong art gallery in Hollywood Road, Central.
“[Here at Villepin Gallery], we wanted to offer a space that is intimate and personal,” he says. “Art has always been a promise – a way to look at the world differently. It must play an essential role in our society.”
He says he is heartened by the presence of Hong Kong’s many well-funded museums and public art institutions. “In the last couple of years, we have seen a great evolution in Hong Kong. It’s now nurturing a great ecosystem of institutions – the [Hong Kong] Palace Museum, M+, Hong Kong Museum of Art and [heritage and arts hub] Tai Kwun.
“We will get to another phase which I think is crucial, which is the creativity,” he says. “Not just the creativity of the people that come to Hong Kong, but [also] artists that are from Hong Kong who can export themselves internationally.”
McAlister agrees: “We need to be nurturing the next generation of Hong Kong creatives.”
Check out the video to hear de Villepin and McAlister discuss their contributions to Hong Kong’s vibrant arts scene.

Performing arts market sales up more than 97% on-year in 2022: data

Annual sales of the country’s performing arts market shot up more than 97 percent last year, a survey showed Friday.
The sales amounted to 972.5 billion won ($747 million), up 97.2 percent from the previous year, and up 14 percent from 2019 before the global breakout of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Survey on the Performing Art, published by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts Management Service.
The amount included the revenue from selling tickets to the performing arts and artwork sales, as well as rental fees for performing art halls.
Of the total, ticket sales took up the largest portion at 57.8 percent, up 155.7 percent from the previous year.
The operation rate of performing art halls came to 50.2 percent, up from the 37.2 percent recorded in 2021. But the figure was lower than the 59.6 percent seen in 2019 as the nationwide social distancing rules to control the spread of the coronavirus were lifted only in April 2022.
The online survey was conducted from June 9 to Oct. 24 last year on 5,286 performing arts centers around the country. (Yonhap)
