Art Barn of Si Shui Leisure Valley Art Town

The Duanxiang Valley Art Granary is located in Jiashantou Village, Sishui County, Shandong Province. The original site was a military grain depot from the 1960s, and the square courtyard with blue bricks and red tiles was once deserted. However, it is a precious material and cultural heritage and cultural imprint, and is part of the Duanxiang Valley Art Town. An abandoned grain depot has been transformed into a creative center, where a group of designers and artists gather their ideals, passion, and imagination to transform the surrounding villages into modern leisure villages. Art is the grain, and sentiment is the warehouse. The art grain depot utilizes the local cultural and geographical advantages, and through the operation mode of "research + cultural creativity + art + education + agriculture + tourism", it turns remote rural areas into "poetry" and "distant places" that many people are happy to check in. There are various spaces in the granary, such as a leisurely study, a design studio, an art studio, an art gallery, a rural museum, a tea and coffee house, a gourmet experience, a sculpture studio, etc. The surrounding area is equipped with a rural music hall, boutique homestays, an art square, a research and study base for painting, a cultural and creative pedestrian street, a fruit and vegetable greenhouse for picking, and other spaces.
