Where classrooms meet art
In Yeongjung-myeon, Pocheon, Pocheon 38 Art & Culture Factory reuses the former Yeongpyeong Elementary School for exhibitions, performances and art education. Its operator traces the school's roots to Yeongchang School in 1907. Visitors can consider the building's former educational life alongside its new creative role.
What does 38 mean?
The operator explains that '38' refers to the historically significant 38th parallel in this area. The name connects regional memory with contemporary art rather than simply numbering the venue.
Dates are not general opening hours
The official site lists 'Regeneration on the Boundary' for November 13–25, 2026, and the earlier 'Korean Contemporary Art' for October 21–November 7. These are exhibition schedules, not general opening hours. Education programs have separate applications; confirm current admission and prices for your specific date.
Finding the correct address
The venue's own directions give 5 Jeonyeong-ro 1429beon-gil, Yeongjung-myeon, Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, at the former school. The listed bus stops are Yeongsong-ri/Yeongsong Samgeori (56-3, 60-1, 60-2) and Yeongpyeong 1-ri (56-3, 56-7, 60-1, 60-2). Buses may be infrequent. The Pocheon Banwol Art Hall address in the website footer is the foundation's address, not the factory's.
