Miaoli Cultural and Creative Industries Park Introduction
To achieve balanced regional development throughout Miaoli County, the Miaoli County Government has established the "Miaobei Cultural and Arts Center," a cultural space that integrates aesthetics with recreational life. The primary aim is to consolidate the arts and cultural resources within the Miaobei living circle, enhance local cultural literacy and artistic atmosphere, and promote local characteristic culture on the international stage. It also aims to appropriately introduce cross-strait and international cultural influences, making Miaoli County a joyful place to enjoy cultural life. The "Miaobei Cultural and Arts Center" is a modern building with 5 above-ground floors and 2 underground levels, covering a total area of 0.9255 hectares. It is designated as a "county and city level" performance venue, with key spaces including a theater (1,090 seats), an experimental theater (230 seats), an audiovisual center, an outdoor performance area, an exhibition area, and artist residency studios. It is designed to accommodate various types of music, theater, and dance performances as well as exhibitions, training sessions, and large gatherings, both domestically and internationally. Given that the essence of arts and culture encompasses not only visual and auditory performance activities but also the audience's personal experience with cultural activities, the operational strategy of the Miaobei Cultural and Arts Center will focus on "operational management" and "event production" to integrate local cultural and creative industry resources and enhance the effectiveness of collective presentation. The main planning focus will be on "cultural performances," "educational inheritance," and "cultural leisure," constructing the Miaobei Cultural and Arts special district as the core of development. The goal is primarily to serve the local residents of Miaobei and gradually expand to cultural enthusiasts across Miaoli County and throughout the nation.
