Part of the Taipei Artist Village, the Village Cafe is a public place of multiple functions (cafe/Restaurant/Bar/Live Bands) located in the centre of Taipei City. We have a large outdoor courtyard where you can enjoy a drink and good food and feel the breeze blowing on your face…. This is a rare place in Taipei.

What is the Taipei Artist Village?

Taipei Artist Village was formerly the office building for the Department of Public Maintenance and Construction of the Taipei City Government, and later a temporary office for the Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation. After years of vacancy, in October 2001 the city government’s Department of Cultural Affairs decided to renovate the building. Based on artist villages in other international capitals such as New York, Paris and London, this once abandoned space was transformed into Taiwan’s first artist village, with a unique style all its own. In May 2003, the Department of Cultural Affairs conducted an open selection seeking a non-governmental organization to manage the Taipei Artist Village.

Taipei Artist Village includes a dance rehearsal space, piano studio, darkroom and performance hall, supporting projects at various stages of development, including research, art creation, exhibitions and performances, by professional artists working in a variety of fields. There is also a multifunctional art and dining space, where visitors and residents can enjoy a meal, exchange ideas, display works, or purchase art or art-related products.
