Kyoto Art Center

The Kyoto Art Center operates from a three-story reinforced concrete building with studios, galleries, an auditorium, and a Japanese-style hall.

The building began as Sanbangumi elementary school in 1869, later becoming Meirin Elementary School until its closure in 1993.

The center hosts the Traditional Theater Training program, offering intensive courses in kyōgen, Noh, and nihonbuyō dance forms.

Visitors can access multiple facilities including a library, information corner, Japanese tea room, and coffee shop within the center.

The north, south, and west wings, along with the gate and wall received registration as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan in 2008.
