The ‘Empty House Project’ operated by the Geumcheon Foundation for Arts and Culture is a cultural city recycling project that changes ‘old houses and empty commercial spaces’ in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, into cultural art creative spaces to provide residents opportunities to enjoy and experience cultural arts. Starting with the first house of the Empty House project that opened in 2017, a total of three venues are being operated. In 2018, it started being used by artists utilizing different themes as creative workshops and operating various cultural art programs linked with the local community.

The Cultural Communication (通) Space in Our Town is a local cultural project that is realized based on the residents’ daily lives where the cultural characteristics of Geumcheon-gu are discovered and developed through artists and residents. The purpose for this project is the independent cultural development with locality and publicness through valuable cultural activities while transforming Geumcheon-gu into a place where everyday life becomes art.

A public-private cooperation system (governance) construction project is operated for the people to develop to be the principal agents of life culture who enjoy cultural art in everyday life and secure self-motivation and self-perpetuation through communication with other groups.
