182 Art Space

Tainan


A fabulous gallery inside an attractive 50-year-old building. The three-and-a-half floors of space hosts well-curated exhibitions of works – paintings, photography and installation – by young Taiwanese and Asian artists. See their Facebook page for the latest. If nothing's on, you can head to the cosy, yellow-walled cafe on the 1st floor for a beer.
