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.{{Cite web |title=Historic Building Appraisal - Old Victoria Barracks, Cassels Block - No. 7A Kennedy Road, Hong Kong Park, Central, H.K |url=https://www.aab.gov.hk/filemanager/aab/common/historicbuilding/en/102_Appraisal_En.pdf}} It is listed as a Grade I historic building.Antiquities Advisory Board.
