A new phase of the Arts Corner in Victoria Park will be launched by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) this Sunday (September 10). Visitors can stroll around a wide array of traditional and trendy handicrafts, and arts services stalls while enjoying their leisure time in the park.
 
     The 22nd phase of the Arts Corner in Victoria Park will run from September 10 until August 25 next year, and will be open from 10am to 6pm on Sundays and public holidays at the Bandstand in the park. The Arts Corner comprises 10 handicrafts 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 cultural and arts services including photography and calligraphy.
 
     "The Arts Corner aims to enhance the public's 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.
