Osan Cultural Gallery to Break Ground Next Week

Osan to hold groundbreaking ceremony for cultural gallery on the 28th

Osan City is creating a cultural venue gallery for its citizens, with the groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for the 28th.

According to the city on the 23rd, the cultural gallery will be built with a total budget of 7.575 billion won, consisting of 2.174 billion won in national funds, 978.3 million won in provincial funds, and 4.422 billion won in city funds.

The gallery, which is scheduled to open in May next year, will be constructed on a 4,618㎡ site in Eungye-dong, Osan City, spanning from basement level 1 to the 4th floor above ground, and will house exhibition halls, experiential spaces, lecture rooms, and cultural training facilities.

Since receiving investment and financing reviews from Gyeonggi Province in 2009, the city has reflected the project in the national property management plan, completed architectural design competitions and design reviews, concluded construction contracts, and will hold a groundbreaking ceremony on the 28th.

A city official stated, “The gallery is a long-cherished project of citizens who have been unable to enjoy cultural activities due to lack of space,” and added, “When it opens in May next year, we plan to host various exhibitions and meet citizens' cultural needs through cultural lectures and educational programs.”
