Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre, Art museum in Central and Western District, Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre occupies a three-story building at Kennedy Road with open colonnaded verandas, brick facades, and a glass extension. The interior provides dedicated spaces for working with ceramics, printmaking, and sculpture in a single location.
The building began in the early 1900s as Cassels Block, serving as housing for married British military officers stationed at Victoria Barracks. It was later transformed into an art center to serve a wider community purpose.
The building contains working studios where visitors can watch artists making pottery, prints, and sculptures in real time. You might see someone at a ceramic wheel or an artist preparing ink for printmaking, making it feel like an active creative space.
The facility opens daily except Tuesdays and is easiest to reach from Admiralty MTR station or through Hong Kong Park entrance. Check ahead to see which studios or exhibitions are available on your visit day.
The center sits in a former military building that retains its character with thick walls and classical verandas. This blend of historical architecture with modern art use creates an unexpected setting for creative work.
