The Goyang Cultral Foundation

About Us

The Goyang cultural foundation was established in January 2004 as the long-term project to promote culture andart in the city of Goyang and its environs. With the opening of its first art center, the Goyang Oulim Nuri Arts Center in 2004, the local cultural life has visibly revitalized, and this led to more diverse and high-quality performances being introduced on stage at Goyang.

The foundation’s goal has been from the beginning “to build a city rich with international culture and art ” and having maintained this aim, it is finally ready in May 2007 to launch a vast compound for culture and artsin the latest fashion and on a grand scale, the Goyang Aram Nuri Arts Center.

The opening of the Aram Nuri will lay a cornerstone for related businesses to provide the finest contents, invite a variety of international performers, and for the community to experience the true delight of cultural life.
