Last month, the district established a mutual cooperation system with Korea Airports Corporation, which owns the idle land targeted for the project in Sinwol-dong, to successfully promote the project. The plan is to create a space where creation and production, exhibition and sales, education and experience can be connected through crafts.


The Creative Craft Center will have a total floor area of 180㎡ and consist of three above-ground floors: a first-floor exhibition and sales hall, a second-floor shared workshop and classroom, and a third-floor rooftop cafe and airplane observation deck. Through the establishment of the center, the district plans not only to support craft artists in developing craft products and opening sales channels but also to establish a new cultural experience landmark for local residents.


Side events such as craft culture festivals and flea markets will be promoted to support small business owners and focus on creating various job opportunities.



Mayor Lee Gi-jae said, “We hope that the newly established Creative Craft Center in the airport noise control area will broadly open opportunities for creation, cultural enjoyment, and jobs to local residents,” adding, “We will continue to support various programs centered on the center so that everyone can enjoy culture and jobs without discrimination.”
