Previously, each cultural space had different operating entities and managing departments, which required individual inquiries for use and caused inconvenience. With the recent increase in cultural and artistic activities, there has been a steady rise in demand for a centralized source of related information.

In response, the city, led by the Culture and Arts Division and in collaboration with all departments and relevant organizations, conducted a comprehensive survey of indoor cultural spaces and systematically organized the information in the "Culture and Arts Information" section of the city's website.

This information service standardizes and provides details for 15 spaces available for exhibitions and performances—including meeting rooms, auditoriums, and multipurpose rooms—covering seating capacity, availability for performances or exhibitions, facility status such as audio and lighting equipment, usage fees, how to use the space, and contact information.

In addition, photos of the interiors of each space are posted so that users can check the spaces in advance.

In particular, users can compare various spaces by size, with capacities ranging from as few as 30 to as many as 3,000 people. Most spaces are available for free or for less than 100,000 won for two hours, which is expected to reduce the financial burden for artists and cultural practitioners.

This information service is also linked to the existing outdoor performance venue reservation system, so users can conveniently access information on both indoor and outdoor cultural spaces.

Jeonggyu Lim, Director of Culture and Tourism, stated, "We have organized previously scattered information on cultural spaces so that any citizen can easily find and compare it," adding, "We will continue to enhance accessibility to information necessary for cultural and artistic activities."
