Side view of Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre (bordering Hong Kong Park)

The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre is located in Hong Kong Park, at 7A Kennedy Road above Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It was opened by Leung Ding-Bong, then chairman of the Urban Council, on 28 April 1992.

The centre encourages local art creation. It was restructured from an early 20th-century building called Cassels Block, a former barracks for married British officers of Victoria Barracks. It currently provides an area and facilities for local artists and includes modern artefacts and sculptures.

Cassels Block is a three-storey colonial Edwardian classical revival building.[1] It is listed as a Grade I historic building.[2] 22°16′36″N 114°09′34″E / 22.27680°N 114.15933°E / 22.27680; 114.15933
