駁二藝術特區簡介:
位於高雄港第三船渠內，建於民國62年，原為一般的港口倉庫。
民國89年因尋找國慶煙火施放場域的一個偶然機緣，進而發現這個具有實驗性的空間。
這一個獨特與近海的藝術開放空間，在熱心的藝術家及地方文化工作者的推動下，
結合文建會閒置空間再利用的專案資源，開啟了駁二藝術特區的創作紀元，
歷經高雄駁二藝術發展協會與樹德科技大學發展地方藝術工坊的戮力經營，
駁二藝術特區成為了南方的實驗 創作場所與工藝創意發展中心；這個藝術空間特質，
保有一種前衛、實驗、創新與高雄國際藝術平台的意涵，
同時亦紀錄著高雄城市生活發展史的脈絡，與創作新高雄的藝術肌理，
這是P2再造的精神所在，是高雄文化藝術的新發韌。
About Pier-2 Art Center:
Located within the third ship trench in Kaohsiung harbor and built in 1973,
it was originally a general purpose harbor warehouse. In 2000,
this space full of experimental possibilities was discovered when authority
was looking for a space to set up firecrackers for the Independence Day celebration.
It’s an unique open art space that is close to the ocean.
With the promotion of impassioned artists and local cultural workers,
it combines the professional resources of the deserted space renewal project
from the Council of Cultural Affairs to march into the creative epoch of
Pier-2 Art District. Propelled by the vigorous management efforts of Kaohsiung
Pier-2 Art Development Association and Shu-Te University’s Development Local Art Workshop,
Pier-2 Art District has become the experiment in southern Taiwan.
