A new phase of the Arts Corner will be launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) in Victoria Park this Tuesday (October 1). Visitors can stroll around a wide array of traditional and trendy handicrafts and arts services stalls while enjoying their leisure in the park.
The 23rd phase of the Arts Corner in Victoria Park will run from October 1 till September 28 next year, and will be open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays and public holidays at South Pavilion Plaza in the park. The Arts Corner comprises eight handicraft and arts services stalls, displaying and selling various kinds of handicrafts and artistic works such as fabric crafts, leather goods and ornaments, as well as providing photography services.
"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 24th 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 fabric crafts and ornaments, as well as arts stalls providing cultural and arts services such as painting and portrait sketching.
The 26th phase of the Arts Fun Fair at Kowloon Park is also open now, from 1pm to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays, until May 31 next year at the park's Loggia. There are 18 stalls displaying and selling craftworks including floral artworks and ornaments as well as art 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.
