Department Introduction

In 2000, the government decided that the fireworks show on the double 10 holiday would be not be held in Taipei, but in a southern city - Kaohsiung. During the search for a suitable location for the fireworks show, people found the Pier-2 warehouse next to the harbor. A group of zealous and hot-blooded artists founded the Pier-2 Art Development Association in 2001 and thus helped the Pier-2 Art Center become the base for art and culture development in southern Taiwan. In 2006, the Bureau of Cultural Affairs, Kaohsiung City Government took over the operation of the Pier-2 Art Center. It has held several events that are full of the creativity and characteristics of the city, including the Kaohsiung Design Festival, The Delight of Chinese Character Festival, Steel and Iron Sculpture Festival, Container Art Festival, the Here Come Kaohsiung People Figure, and the Live Warehouse Music Concert. The energetic Pier-2 Art Center continues to bring us brand new concepts and face and construct the charming culture and art of living in the harbor city.
