I. About us

In the heart of the fertile Jianan Plains between historic Siraya National Scenic Area and ecologically rich Taijiang National Park, Soulangh Cultural Park arose from the former Jiali Sugar Factory. The Soulangh Cultural Park's revitalized Japanese era sugar refinery warehouses successfully merge historic architecture with modern design in an area rich in history, culture and agriculture. The park is a cultural stronghold for traditional performance and folk arts and is emerging as a modern art venue that promotes artistic growth.
Soulangh Artist Village aims to foster international exchange with artists from around the world and create a vibrant community of artists; local and international, emerging and established. Artists will be living in close proximity to local craftsmen artisans and are encouraged to take the community and vibrant local culture as inspiration for their art works. Artists have access to wheelchair accessible air-conditioned modern studio spaces, galleries and theatres for exhibitions, workshops and performances.
International artists participating in Soulangh's Artist in Residence Program live in a vibrant community of artists and have the opportunity to exchange techniques and ideas with other artists; local and international, emerging and established.
Artists will be living in close proximity to local craftsmen artisans and are encouraged to take the community and vibrant local culture as inspiration for their art works.
