In the Chern-Simons gauge theory formulation of the spinning (2+1) dimensional black hole, we may treat the horizon and the spatial infinity as boundaries. We obtain the actions induced on both boundaries, applying the Faddeev and Shatashvili procedure. The action induced on the boundary of the horizon is precisely the gauged $SL(2,R)/U(1)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model, which has been studied previously in connection with a Lorentz signature black hole in (1+1) dimensions. The action induced on the boundary of spatial infinity is also found to be a gauged $SL(2,R)$ WZW model, which is equivalent to the Liouville model, the covariant action for the (1+1) dimensional quantum gravity. Thus, the (2+1) dimensional black hole is intimately related to the quantum gravity in (1+1) dimensions.
