Incheon Art Platform (IAP)
Incheon Art Platform, managed by the Incheon Foundation for Arts & Culture is a place mediating culture and the arts created in Hae An-dong, Jung-gu as a part of the urban regeneration project of Incheon’s old downtown. IAP was built by remodeling a modern style building constructed in the late nineteenth century, to contribute to the development and spread of culture and the arts, as a place providing opportunities to integrated different artistic activities while facilitating conversation.
Incheon Art Platform supports artists by providing a stable and convenient creation and research space for a period of time and operates a residency program which deals with the promotion of artists. Both the creative activities of artists from various cultural backgrounds encompassing the visual, performing, and written arts, and the research activities of critics and curators are supported by the IAP, which is an incubator of novel artistic creations. IAP is a place mediating culture and the arts, and encompasses the whole process, including artistic creation, distribution and enjoyment. Its goal is to promote the area while contributing to international cultural and artistic exchanges.
IAP’s programs

Besides physical space, software support, promotion support, and project fulfillment support are also provided.
The output created during a residency is issued in a diverse range of ways, through its open studio, open showcase, exhibitions and performances. Meanwhile, the artist/critic matching program is operated to arrange cooperation between resident artists and critic so that artistic competence is improved and interdisciplinary exchange is promoted. In addition, IAP has concluded partnerships with similar institutions overseas to carry out an artist’s exchange program and makes efforts towards the international exchange of culture and the art.
IAP also runs an artist residence in Baengnyeong-do, the northernmost island of Republic of Korea.
