A new phase of the Arts Corner will be launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) in Victoria Park this Friday (April 5). Visitors can stroll around a wide array of traditional and trendy handicrafts and arts services stalls while enjoying their leisure in the park.
The 20th phase of the Arts Corner in Victoria Park will run from April 5 till March 29 next year, and will be open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays and public holidays at the park's South Pavilion Plaza. The Arts Corner comprises 19 handicrafts and arts services stalls, displaying and selling various kinds of handicrafts and artistic works such as fabric crafts, leather goods, floral artworks and ornaments, as well as providing cultural and arts services including photography and calligraphy.
"The Arts Corner aims to enhance public interest in arts and enrich the arts atmosphere in Hong Kong. It will also make the park a more appealing and enjoyable place for visitors," a spokesman for the department said.
Apart from Victoria Park, another Arts Corner and an Arts Fun Fair are being held at Hong Kong Park and Kowloon Park respectively.
The 19th phase of Hong Kong Park's Arts Corner is now open between noon and 6pm every Saturday and Sunday and on public holidays. It will continue until December 31 at the outdoor area near the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware inside Hong Kong Park. There are 10 stalls in operation including handicrafts stalls selling straw-weaving works, floral artworks, handmade soaps and ornaments, as well as arts stalls providing cultural and arts services including painting, silhouette cutting and portrait drawing.

There are 29 stalls displaying and selling trendy craftworks including fabrics and floral ornaments as well as traditional arts products and services including painting and calligraphy.
"The Arts Corners have been well received in past years. While taking a break at the Arts Corners, park-goers can also visit other facilities in the parks and spend some pleasant time there," the spokesman said.
