Dalseong Daegu Contemporary Art Festival is a contemporary art festival held in the area of Kang Information, inheriting the spirit of the Daegu Contemporary Art Festival, where young artists conducted various art experiments challenging the rigidity of the established art world in the 1970s. Gangjeong, the venue for the Dalseong Daegu Contemporary Art Festival, is significant as the venue for Korea's first collective event involving more than 200 artists, the largest ever, at the time of the "3rd Daegu Contemporary Art Festival" in 1977.
