 The Bali Art Center built in 1973 is also called as ‘Taman Werdi Budaya’ (The Culture Park). It was built to the design of the outstanding Balinese architect Ida Bagus Tugur.
This cultural development center is strategically located on Jl. Nusa Indah of Abiankapas village, Kesiman district, a suburb of Denpasar, only about a 15-minute walk east of Kereneng station.
Lay down in a soothing garden with lotus ponds in the midst of luxuriously carved elaborate Balinese constructions, the Taman Werdi Budaya hosts Balinese artists to create, to learn, to train and to show their creations.
Here, both Balinese and Indonesian permanent fine-art exhibition open everyday. Visitors may visit this place at around 7 am to 3.30 pm daily. Modern paintings, masks and woodcarvings are featured within its museum and small handicraft shops.
This art center has three main stages: the Ksirarnawa at the second floor of the building; Arda Chandra, the open- air stage; and the Wantilan stage. The Bali Art College (STSI) is also located in this art center.
