Horanggasy Creative Studio is an art residency located in Yangnim-dong, Gwangju, housed in the historic Underwood Missionary Residence, which boasts 122 years of history and has been reimagined as a platform for artistic creation and exchange.

Here, artists from various disciplines—including visual arts, literature, music, theater, film, etc.—pursue experimental and innovative creation and exhibitions, exploring new possibilities.

The studio operates diverse creative and exhibition spaces, including Art Polygon, Glass Polygon, and Base Polygon. It also runs art education programs in collaboration with local residents and spreads cultural value through exchanges with domestic and international artists.

Since 2021, it has also served as a main venue for the Gwangju Biennale and has collaborated with key institutions such as the Gwangju Museum of Art. Through its extensive network with domestic and international art organizations, it provides artists with diverse opportunities and creative environments.

Horanggasy Creative Studio supports the development of artistic capacities through these networks, leading the way in fostering a sustainable environment for creation.

Resident artists can engage with peers from various fields, exploring the multifaceted and multidimensional nature of art.

Grounded in its rich cultural heritage, Horanggasy Creative Studio connects local identity with global perspectives, establishing itself as a central hub for creation and exchange.

In 2026, we invite artists to join us on a new artistic journey at Horanggasy Creative Studio.
