Damju Damidam Art District

Damju Damidam Art District is a complex cultural space created by renovating old buildings in the Damyang market area of Jeonnam-Gwangju Integrated Special City. Warehouses that used to store rice or old shops are now operated as artists' studios, unique cafes, and independent bookstores. Sculptures are installed throughout, showing a unique landscape where the past and modern sensibilities blend. Visitors can enjoy strolling through the alleys and looking at small galleries and workshops. Within the street, there is a gallery called Myeonggojae run by a Korean painting artist, where you can appreciate the works of local artists for free. In addition, experience programs where you can directly learn traditional arts such as natural dyeing and ink wash painting are available, making it good for family visitors to enjoy. At Damidam Plaza, which appears as you walk along the Art District path, flea markets and street performances that let you feel the vitality of the market are sometimes held. If you check the Damyang County Cultural Foundation SNS before visiting, you can find out in advance about night markets or festival news.
