The project was initiated in 2023 as part of the Eastern Region Development Project of North Jeolla Special Self-Governing Province, with a total budget of 11.9 billion KRW, including 8.9 billion KRW in provincial funds.

This space will target children aged 5 to 10, offering a variety of experience programs (indoor activity art playgrounds) designed to foster creative thinking and emotional education through the arts.

Mayor Choi Kyungsik stated, "The Hampau Art Valley (Kids Art Land) development project marks an important first step for Namwon City to be reborn as a city of culture and arts," adding, "We will continue to support this project so that Namwon can grow into a cultural hub."
