The Art Site of Chiayi Railway Warehouse (traditional Chinese: 嘉義鐵道藝術村; simplified Chinese: 嘉义铁道艺术村; pinyin: Jiāyì Tiědào Yìshù Cūn) is a historical warehouse in West District, Chiayi City, Taiwan.
In 1999, the Taiwan Provincial Government chose Chiayi City as the place for the Art Network of Railway Warehouse due to its position as the art and culture capital. In July 2000, the Council of Cultural Affairs chose five candidates and then decided to make the warehouse.[1] The warehouse was converted from an idle railway warehouse. The planning work started in September 2000 by Chiayi City Government aiming to turn the warehouse into an art center.
