Since its opening in 1981, the ARKO Arts Theater of the Arts Council Korea has established itself as a premier cultural space for creating artistic value by developing and supporting diverse performing arts works that present new values ​​and perspectives, and by providing high-quality services. As a representative theater specializing in performing arts where approximately 100,000 performing artists and audiences gather annually, the ARKO Arts Theater receives positive evaluations from audiences for its high-quality rental performances, as well as its own planned productions. Moving forward, we intend to pursue the planning of a wide range of performing arts projects in line with our founding purpose as a specialized theater, as well as promote exchanges with major overseas venues.

Opened in 2009, the Arts Council Korea’s Daehakro Arts Theater aims to revitalize the pure performing arts in Daehakro by establishing a much-needed medium-sized public theater in an area densely populated with small theaters. We strive to establish ourselves as a cultural space that provides high-quality services and develops and supports diverse performing arts works, serving as a focal point for the cultural regeneration of Daehakro and a platform for discovering and nurturing the next generation of artists. Moving forward, as a central theater for discovering and supporting the next generation of artists, we intend to plan and implement a wide range of performing arts projects in accordance with our founding purpose.
