Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture Revamps AI-Powered Integrated Arts Platform ‘SPAC’

The Seoul Arts Information Platform 'SPAC', operated by the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC), is set for a comprehensive revamp, relaunching on September 4, 2026. The platform, previously known as the 'Seoul Arts Support Information Portal,' has been rebranded as the 'Seoul Arts Information Platform' and significantly upgraded to serve as an integrated hub for performance and exhibition information throughout Seoul. A key enhancement includes the integration of AI technology to introduce personalized services, aiming to enrich users' artistic experiences.

SPAC Expands to Offer Comprehensive Seoul Arts Information

Through this comprehensive overhaul of SPAC, the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture (SFAC) will now provide a much wider array of cultural and artistic content across Seoul. Previously focused primarily on arts support information, the platform has transformed—in line with its name change—into an integrated resource covering diverse performances and exhibitions throughout the city. This initiative aims to offer a rich artistic experience not only to Seoul residents but also to domestic and international tourists visiting the capital.

Furthermore, SPAC will foster connections by supporting the registration and promotion of artworks from cultural foundations in each of Seoul's autonomous districts. This approach broadens its reach to creators city-wide, centralizing local cultural and artistic content, and is expected to contribute significantly to the revitalization of the regional arts ecosystem.

AI-Powered Personalization: Analyzing and Recommending Art Preferences

A core feature of this revamp is the introduction of four new AI-powered personalized services. These include the 'SPAC Art Typology (SAT),' 'Keyword Artwork Curation,' 'Personalized My Page,' and the 'Smart Artwork Registration Service,' specifically designed for artists and art organizations.

The 'SPAC Art Typology (SAT)' service, in particular, offers an intuitive analysis of a user's cultural sensibility through a few simple survey questions, revealing their hidden artistic preferences. Designed with AI model learning and reflecting both domestic and international art trends, the SAT forms the basis for the 'Keyword Artwork Curation' service, which algorithmically recommends performances and exhibitions across Seoul that align with the user's tastes.

Convenient Accessibility and Customized Features for Users

The newly revamped SPAC platform offers basic performance and exhibition search functionalities that are freely accessible to all users without requiring membership registration. This ensures that anyone can easily and conveniently access Seoul's art information.

However, to utilize personalized services such as viewing 'SPAC Art Typology (SAT)' results and accessing a 'Personalized My Page,' users will need to register for a free account on the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture website. This registration grants users access to more in-depth information and tailored recommendations based on their unique artistic preferences.
