Incheon Art Platform

Incheon


This attractive complex of 1930s and ‘40s brick warehouses was turned over to the Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture, which has created gallery spaces and artist residency studios. Performances and events are also held here, and there is a light-filled cafe with plenty of art books.

The platform offers residency programs and studio space for artists; visit the website for more info.
