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
