Starting as a public market in 1959 and once called one of Gwangju's two major markets, Daein Market was on the path of decline before being reborn as Daein Art Market in 2008 by putting on the clothes of art through the Gwangju Biennale's 'Bokdeokbang Project'. The historical anecdote of merchants handing out rice balls to the citizen army during the May 18 Democratization Movement and murals painted by artists permeate throughout the market, presenting a unique charm where tradition and modernity, history and art coexist. In particular, the 'Byeoljang' night market held every Saturday evening boasts a lively atmosphere with various foods, handicrafts, and street performances, giving visitors unforgettable memories.
