*********************************************************************
     Members of the public are welcome to visit the new phase of Arts Corner which will be launched in Hong Kong Park under the Leisure and Cultural Services Department on January 1, 2018. Visitors can stroll around a wide array of traditional and trendy handicrafts and arts services stalls while enjoying their leisure in the park. The Arts Corner comprises 10 stalls displaying and selling various kinds of handicrafts and artistic works, such as dough sculptures, paper crafts, straw-weaving works and ornaments, as well as providing cultural and arts services including painting, silhouette cutting and portrait sketching. 

     Aiming to enhance public interest in the arts and enriching the arts atmosphere in Hong Kong, Arts Corner makes the park an even more appealing and enjoyable place for visitors.

     The 18th phase of Hong Kong Park's Arts Corner will be open between noon and 6pm on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from January 1 to December 31 next year. The Arts Corner is situated at the outdoor area next to the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware inside the park. Admission is free.

     Apart from Hong Kong Park, the 19th phase of Arts Corner at Victoria Park will run from April 1 next year to March 31, 2019, and will be open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays and public holidays at the park's South Pavilion Plaza. Individuals or non-profit-making organisations (any charitable organisation which is exempt from tax under section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance) interested in operating the stalls in this new round of Victoria Park Arts Corner are welcome to submit applications between January 3 and 24 next year. Prospectuses and application forms can be obtained at Victoria Park Management Office, 1 Hing Fat Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, or Wan Chai District Leisure Services Office, 9/F Lockhart Road Municipal Services Building, 225 Hennessy Road, or downloaded from the park's website: www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/parks/vp/help.html.
