Hub City of Asian Culture Project, administered by the national
government of Korea, is the single largest cultural project in
the history of the nation. The Project aims to forge cultural
ties and establish a forum of exchange with the various
countries of Asia, and enhance the overall quality of life
of the Asian community by transforming Gwangju, one
of the six largest cities in Korea , into a culture city of
novel concepts.
The Project aspires to see the creation of a forum where
all Asians can share and exchange the precious cultural
assets of the continent. The Asian Culture Complex, an
integral part of the Project to be completed by 2014, is
expected to serve as a stage upon which creative energies
of Asians in the sphere of arts and culture can lead to a source
of new creativity and mutual inspiration. Through such exchanges,
we hope to preserve the traditional cultures of Asia and, at the same time, play an important role in the creation,
distribution, and commercialization of a wide variety of cultures.
