Chang-dong Art Village (창동예술촌)

Chang-dong Art Village is an urban regeneration initiative aimed at revitalizing the once-thriving commercial heart of old Masan’s downtown area (Chang-dong/Odong-dong area). The village showcases a myriad of attractions segmented under three themes: Moonshin Art Alley, Masan Art Trace Alley, and E'cole de Chang-dong Alley. These alleys resonate with the memories and nostalgia of Masan, which stood as a cultural and artistic hub in the 1950s and 1960s. Serving as a confluence for art and artists, and the village currently houses around 50 residential facilities and runs experiential workshops in 12 of them, offering visitors a chance for hands-on learning.
