History

edit

In 1999, the Taiwan Provincial Government chose Chiayi City as the place for the Art Network of Railway Warehouse due to its position as the art and culture capital. In July 2000, the Council of Cultural Affairs chose five candidates and then decided to make the warehouse.[1] The warehouse was converted from an idle railway warehouse. The planning work started in September 2000 by Chiayi City Government aiming to turn the warehouse into an art center.

Architecture

edit

The site consists of 12 warehouses forming a block. They provide a total area of 2,500 m2 of interior space for creative work, exhibition, performance and education.[2] The outdoor area is divided into outdoor performance area, creative art area and general area.[3]
