     All members of the public are welcome to visit the new phase of the Arts Fun Fair to be launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) at Kowloon Park this Sunday (June 4). Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the park while appreciating a wide range of handicrafts and artworks.

     The 19th phase of the Arts Fun Fair at Kowloon Park will run from June 4 to May 27 next year, and will be open from 1pm to 7pm on Sundays and public holidays at the park's Loggia. There will be 35 stalls displaying and selling trendy handicrafts like wooden art and floral ornaments as well as traditional arts products and services including straw-weaving works, paper crafts and calligraphy.

     The Arts Fun Fair aims at enhancing public interest in the arts and enriching the arts atmosphere in Hong Kong. It will also make the park more appealing and enjoyable for park-goers, a spokesman for the LCSD said.

     "The Arts Fun Fair at Kowloon Park has been well received by the general public. In addition to the fair, other specialised facilities in the park, such as the Sculpture Walk, the Sculpture Garden and the Maze Garden, also win the hearts of visitors enjoying fun-filled weekends," the spokesman said.

     Apart from the fun fair at Kowloon Park, Arts Corners at Hong Kong Park and Victoria Park have also commenced.

     The 17th phase of Hong Kong Park's Arts Corner is now open between noon and 6pm every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday. It will continue until December 31 at the outdoor area near the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware inside the park. There are 10 stalls in operation including handicrafts stalls displaying and selling leather goods, sand paintings, pottery and ornaments, as well as arts stalls providing cultural and arts services including painting, silhouette cutting and portrait drawing.

     As for the 18th phase of the Arts Corner in Victoria Park, it will run until March 31, 2018, and is open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays and public holidays at the park's South Pavilion Plaza. The Arts Corner comprises 22 handicrafts and arts services stalls, displaying and selling various kinds of handicrafts and artistic works such as fabric crafts, knotting, pottery and ornaments as well as providing cultural and arts services including painting, photography and portrait drawing.
