Tucked away near Minzu Bridge, Jyakugawa is a dining bar specializing in cocktails and refined Japanese small plates. Designed around the quiet beauty of wabi-sabi, the space offers an intimate and understated atmosphere.

Jyakugawa also hosts occasional ikebana workshops, Japanese food-and-sake events, and guest ramen pop-ups, bringing together floral art, cuisine, and drinks to explore the aesthetics of Japanese everyday life.

FreeS Art Space was named through a collaboration between the Association of the Visual Arts in Taiwan (AVAT) and Hantoo Art Group. Established with the aim of supporting the arts community and giving back to Taiwan’s cultural ecosystem, it provides an exhibition platform for both established and emerging artists.

By creating a space for artistic presentation and exchange, Welfare Space seeks to encourage deeper engagement with art, broaden perspectives, and foster meaningful dialogue across the creative community.

King Wan Wan Shop Mall, located at the intersection of Zhongshan North Road and Nong’an Street in Taipei, was once known as a hub for imported goods. Characterized by its small storefronts, dense cluster of shops, and wide variety of merchandise, it was a distinctive part of Taipei’s early retail landscape.

As local needs changed, many of the original businesses were gradually replaced by Filipino-run shops offering everyday goods and customized services. Together with the nearby St. Christopher’s Church, an important center of faith for the Filipino community, the area has grown into a key gathering place for Filipinos living in Taiwan and is now commonly known as “Little Manila.

(m)310coffeeroom started as a place for old friends to keep hanging out, and soon became a space for meeting new ones too.

From illustrators and celebrities to baristas and tattoo artists, everyone brings something different to the mix. Like single-origin coffee beans, each person has their own character and flavor. Together, they create the unique blend that defines (m)310—sometimes bright, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, but always full of surprises.

It is a place where different people, ideas, and creative energy come together. Expect good food, music, things to see, things to do, and plenty to discover—all under one roof."

Founded in Taipei in 2012, GALERIE OVO is a platform for dialogue across art, technology, sustainability, and the humanities.

Its Chinese name, “Shifang,” symbolizes a fertile field where ideas can grow, while OVO comes from the Latin phrase “ab ovo,” meaning “from the beginning” or “the origin.” The gallery’s use of square and circular forms also reflects the traditional Chinese concept of a round heaven and square earth.

GALERIE OVO works with artists from different regions and presents painting, sculpture, installation, video, and new media art. In recent years, founder Julia Tung has expanded the gallery’s interdisciplinary collaborations, with a growing focus on art, technology, sustainability, and ESG-related initiatives.
