Zhaolan Art and Cultural Center Introduction
Zhuolan is located at the southern end of Miaoli. In the past, due to its favorable natural geographical environment, it became a fruit town known for producing high-quality and sweet grapes, starfruits, citrus fruits, and pears, gaining a great reputation in Taiwan. However, this area, with a population of more than 20,000, lacks a suitable space for cultural performances. Along with social changes and a gradual outflow of the population, local culture faces the risk of decline. In 1995, the Council for Cultural Affairs provided a budget to enhance local performance facilities. In cooperation with the township office, the "Zhuolan Arts and Culture Center" was established in the Hongdao Hall of National Zhuolan Experimental Senior High School, featuring a performance hall that can accommodate 200 spectators and an exhibition hall. Although the center is not large, it is well-equipped for performances, providing a stage for local residents to showcase their talents. Additionally, the center often invites outstanding artists from various places, hosting a variety of performances including dance, theater, photography, music, and crafts, allowing the residents of Zhuolan Township to immerse themselves in artistic activities.
