➊ Complex Resort Paradise City

A Paradise of Spatial Art, ‘Art Space’

There is also a huge art gallery inside the Paradise City resort complex. It provides unrivaled cultural experiences and content that spans a wide variety of genres, from famous domestic artists to world-class stars. The exhibition area of Paradise Art Space consists of a permanent exhibition hall based on various collections and a special exhibition hall that encompasses popular features and trends.

“Together,” a special collaboration exhibition between Paradise and Compassion, which started on May 27, will run until August 20. Compassion is an international child-sponsorship organization that provides holistic care to children suffering from poverty around the world until they become adults that can live on their own. Paradise and Compassion hope that this exhibition will serve as a good opportunity for visitors to reach out to more children, and it aims to spread a good influence on the community, in collaboration with many artists participating in this event by sharing their talents.

In the permanent exhibition hall, you can enjoy the theme-based central collections of Paradise City, along with signature works from world-class artists like Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons.

Meanwhile, the special exhibition hall is a space that newly highlights and expands various contemporary artistic values, such as architecture, design, fashion, and media, as well as fine art. Audiences can really feel the pleasures of artainment through free experiences and participation. The “Paradise Walk” stretches from the plaza at Paradise City to the Paradise Hotel and Casino. This place, with its colorful lighting changing every moment before your very eyes, is especially prized as a photo zone.
