Continuing the tradition of Gwangju, a city of art, Gwangju Art Street is a place that formed naturally as galleries and framing shops gathered from the mid-1970s. Since its official designation in 1987, it has established itself as an attraction where you can encounter the essence of Namdo art, such as calligraphy and paintings, ceramics, and crafts. Browsing the galleries, antique shops, and traditional teahouses densely packed throughout the street, you can appreciate and purchase the works of local artists.
In particular, it operates as a 'car-free street' every Saturday, adding a vibrant atmosphere with an antique flea market and various cultural events. You can enjoy an even richer cultural experience in connection with the nearby Asia Culture Center and Daein Market.
