Hekinan City Arts and Culture Hall

Hekinan City Arts and Culture Hall, Performance venue in Hekinan, Japan.

Hekinan City Arts and Culture Hall is a hall and theatre complex in Hekinan, Aichi Prefecture, opened on 17 July 1993 and designed by Kume Sekkei. It was built together with the adjacent Hekinan City Library as the Hekinan Arts and Culture Village. Inside are the concert hall Emerald Hall, the multipurpose Theater South, studios, meeting rooms, a multipurpose lobby and dressing rooms.

The hall opened on July 17, 1993, as part of the Hekinan Arts and Culture Village developed together with the adjacent Hekinan City Library. In 1994 it received the second Aichi Townscape Architecture Award. The building was designed by Kume Sekkei and built by a joint venture of Toda, Shiratake, Kajikawa and Kimura Construction.

The hall's two venues take their names from Hekinan: "Emerald" (midori, green) for the concert hall and "South" for Theater South. The complex was developed together with the adjacent Hekinan City Library as the Hekinan Arts and Culture Village.

The hall stands about five minutes on foot from Kitashinkawa Station on the Meitetsu Mikawa Line, not from Hekinan Station. It was built together with the neighbouring Hekinan City Library as part of the Hekinan Arts and Culture Village, so the two can be visited in one stop.

The names of the two halls have local meaning: Emerald Hall references the character for green in Hekinan, while Theater South indicates the southern direction. This local connection shows how the building ties into its surroundings.
