The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre is located in Hong Kong Park, at 7A Kennedy Road above Central, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It was opened by Leung Ding-Bong, then chairman of the Urban Council, on 28 April 1992.

The centre encourages local art creation. It was restructured from an early 20th-century building called Cassels Block, a former barracks for married British officers of Victoria Barracks. It currently provides an area and facilities for local artists and includes modern artefacts and sculptures.

Cassels Block is a three-storey colonial Edwardian classical revival building.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> It is listed as a Grade I historic building.<ref>Antiquities Advisory Board. List of the 1,444 Historic Buildings with Assessment Results</ref> Template:Coord
