The Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul has unveiled a new initiative to extend its cultural evenings outdoors with the opening of the Curtain Call Garden. This newly landscaped courtyard garden, located in central Seoul’s Gwanghwamun area, will transform the Art Garden behind the venue into a space for live jazz performances, food stalls, and nighttime illuminations.
Running from Thursday until November 8, the garden will be open daily from 5 to 11 p.m., allowing visitors to enjoy an extended cultural experience without any charge. This initiative is part of Seoul’s broader plan to stimulate the nighttime economy by activating cultural spaces after dark and encouraging more visitors to explore the downtown district.
Curated by Club Janus, a renowned jazz scene landmark, the garden will host 15 live performances from Wednesdays to Saturdays, featuring notable acts such as Prelude.
