Shinkaichi Community Center for Arts and Interaction, Performance venue in Hyogo, Japan

The Shinkaichi Community Center for Arts and Interaction occupies parts of the basement through fourth floors of a 17-story reinforced-concrete building in Kobe. It holds a 303 m² hall with 144 rollback seats, a 129 m² gallery, three soundproofed studios, two mirrored rehearsal rooms, a silk-screen workshop and the free 88 m² Tetete Park for preschoolers and their guardians.

Kobe city opened the center in 1996 as the Kobe Art Village Center, nicknamed KAVC, to train young artists and regenerate Shinkaichi. Osaka Gas subsidiary Osaka Gas Business Create ran it from the start and became designated manager in 2005; the Kobe Citizens' Culture Promotion Foundation took over in 2017. A 2022 ordinance change renamed it Shinkaichi Community Center for Arts and Interaction on 1 April 2023, with a reopening on 29 April.

The center hosts theatrical performances and art workshops where residents regularly gather. Local and visiting artists share the spaces for collaborative projects and seasonal events.

The center is a 3-minute walk from Shinkaichi Station on the Kobe Kosoku Line, 7 minutes from Minatogawa-koen Station on the Seishin-Yamate Subway Line, and 10 minutes from JR Kobe Station. It opens 10:00–22:00 and closes Tuesdays (or the following day if Tuesday is a holiday) and December 28–January 4.

The basement cinema closed when the venue was renamed in 2023 and became a 129-square-metre gallery. The offices moved from the fourth floor down to the first. The building itself is a 17-storey reinforced-concrete tower, and the centre occupies only parts of floors B1 to 4.
