Taipei City Cultural Affairs Department - City Stage Introduction
Founded in 1964, the Taipei City Social Education Center is a well-known cultural and artistic space with the primary goal of promoting arts and cultural activities. Its open areas mainly consist of a lobby on the first floor and three exhibition halls for static displays, as well as various music, dance, and theater performances in the urban stage and art plaza. After renovations were completed in 2003, the performance section was renamed "Urban Stage" and embarked on a new journey as a more professional and modern comprehensive theater, becoming a space more suited to contemporary urban activities. In addition to the main center on Bade Road, the center has also established the Yanping Activity Center in the Datong District, the Wenshan Branch in the Wenshan District, and a parent-child plaza at the City Hall, alleviating the usage constraints of the main facility and making it easier for more people to participate in educational and cultural activities. In 2014, in accordance with the revision of the Cultural Bureau's organizational regulations, it was renamed the "Taipei Arts Promotion Office" and officially inaugurated on November 6, 2015.
