Taipei City Department of Cultural Affairs - City Stage Introduction
Established in 1964, the Taipei City Social Education Center is a well-known cultural venue, with the primary goal of promoting arts and cultural activities. Its open areas are mainly the first-floor lobby and three exhibition halls, which primarily showcase static exhibitions, while also frequently hosting various music, dance, and theater events on the City Stage and Art Plaza. After renovations were completed in 2003, the performance part was renamed “City Stage” and relaunched as a more professional and modern comprehensive theater, aligning better with contemporary urban activity spaces. In addition to the main center on Bada Road, new facilities have been established, including the Yanping Activity Center in Datong District, the Wenshan Branch in Wenshan District, and a Parent-Child Plaza at the City Government Building, not only alleviating the user capacity limitations of the main center but also making it easier for more citizens to participate in social education activities. In 2014, in line with the revision of the Cultural Bureau’s organizational regulations, it was renamed the “Taipei City Cultural Promotion Office,” and was officially inaugurated on November 6, 2015.
