Once a bustling wholesale market for fish and vegetables in downtown Gwangju, Daein Market has transformed into a vibrant cultural space where art and commerce coexist. Since artists began filling empty stalls with creative works during the 2008 Gwangju Biennale, the market has reinvented itself, drawing crowds every Saturday evening to its lively night art market.
광주 동구에 위치한 대인시장은 어물과 채소를 취급하던 전통 도매시장에서 예술이 살아 숨 쉬는 독특한 문화공간으로 변신한 곳이다. 2008년 광주비엔날레 프로젝트를 계기로 빈 점포에 예술 작품이 채워지며 '예술이 동거하는 시장'으로 거듭났고, 매주 토요일 저녁 열리는 예술야시장은 지금도 많은 사람들의 발길을 이끈다.
