   (b)   Cultural and artistic facilities are defined as follows:
 
   (i)   Exhibit/Performance Space: Public gallery/exhibition space, public performance spaces, public artistic studio spaces, public arts education facilities.

   (vi)   Similar facilities on culture and the arts as determined by the Cultural Affairs Department.
 
   (c)   Cultural and artistic services are defined as follows:
 
   (i)   Performing arts: Theatre, dance, music and performance art.
 
   (ii)   Literary arts: Poetry readings and story telling.
 
   (iii)   Media arts: Film and video, screenings and installations.
 
   (iv)   Education: Lectures, presentations and training in and about arts and culture.
 
   (v)   Special events: Parades, festivals and celebrations.
 
   (vi)   Similar services on culture and the arts as determined approved by the Cultural Affairs Department.
 
   (d)   Cultural and artistic community amenities as defined by the Cultural Affairs Department in guidelines promulgated for this purpose.
 
   (e)   The maximum amount of the credit shall not exceed the calculated Art Development Fee.
