Tung District Arts and Cultural Center Introduction
Taichung District Art and Culture Center is one of the twelve flagship projects of the former Taichung County Government, aimed at balancing cultural development in the mountainous and coastal areas of Taichung District. It is responsible for the advancement of arts and culture in the district and contributes to the broader vision of shaping Taichung as a "Cultural Capital". The Taichung District Art and Culture Center (originally known as the Taichung County District Art and Culture Center) was officially established in July 2010, and was renamed the Taichung City District Art and Culture Center following the merger of counties and cities on December 25, 2010. Due to organizational restructuring, it was renamed to its current title on January 1, 2013. The center focuses on performing arts and music while also featuring functions for art exhibitions and cultural promotion. In the future, it will actively host various cultural and artistic performances from the perspective of promoting art education, integrating teaching, community life, and promoting international cultural and artistic exchanges. Covering nearly 5 hectares, with a total floor area of 22,100 square meters, it consists of three floors above ground and one basement level, embodying the concepts of "Tai Chi, Middle Way" and "Art, Craft, Architecture" in its design. The main multifunctional auditorium has 1,150 seats, and the experimental theater accommodates 200 seats. Indoor spaces include: Exhibition Hall: Basement level (Exhibition Room B), First floor (Exhibition Room A, Aesthetic Space), Second floor (Aesthetic Collection Room, Parent-Child Reading Room), and Third floor (Large Conference Room with 198 seats). The performance venue consists of the auditorium (1,150 seats) and the experimental theater (200 seats), which is an open black box theater. The suspension system above the theater employs tension steel cables, allowing for the suspension of scenery and lighting in various locations. Performers can set the stage and audience seating according to their artistic vision, making it suitable for experimental performances, theater, dance, concerts, and other types of performances. The auditorium features a proscenium stage design, divided into five sections: main stage, left stage, right stage, backstage, and orchestra pit. Adjacent to the right stage are two individual dressing rooms, and the second floor has five individual dressing rooms, three medium-sized dressing rooms, one large dressing room, and one rehearsal room. With a total of 1,150 seats, it is a versatile performing venue suitable for music, dance, and drama. The outdoor plaza is an ideal location for outdoor performances, featuring an outdoor amphitheater, an area with cassia trees, and Lanting Plaza. In the afternoon, visitors can enjoy exciting performances with family and friends, or leisurely stroll through the park, making the most of their leisure time.
