Located in Taichung Central Park, the Taichung Art Museum (TcAM) hosted “Art Classes on the Green” prior to its official inauguration. The event invited artists to conduct “Art Co-creation Workshops” and organized a “Weekend Art Event” themed around “Art Class Market,” “Outdoor Art Classes,” and “Art Experiences.” The program combined environmental awareness, artistic creation, educational outreach, and interactive technology, creating a co-creative platform for exchange that inspires citizens to explore the infinite possibilities at the intersection of art and everyday life.

Weekend Art Event

“Art Classes on the Green” is an outdoor art platform designed to offer a unique artistic experience.The event is structured around three main themes: the “Art Class Market,” three “Outdoor Art Classes,” and “All-Day Art Experiences.”This program invites the public to immerse themselves in the park environment, engage in artmaking, experience the creative process firsthand, and explore the diverse ways in which art intertwines with everyday life.

The “Art Class Market” brought together ten groups from art education organizations and children’s aesthetics, offering creative art courses for different age groups to discover the allure of art through diverse interactions.

The “Outdoor Art Classes” provided three activities stimulating all five senses in the park. These include the “Physical Movement Class” by Pure White Dance Lab, which encouraged parent-child interaction through dance while celebrating the beauty of movement; the “Juggling Class” by Eye Catching Circus, which engaged children and adults in challenging themselves to become living sculptures in the park through circus arts; and finally, the “Spatial Exploration Class,” led by Chuang Chih-Wei, which combined environmental observation and artistic creation to co-create outdoor installation art with the public.

The “All-Day Art Experiences” invited free participation, featuring the “Book Picnic,” which welcomed everyone to enjoy reading on picnic mats designed collaboratively by an artist and local residents. The “Black and Blue Art Project” utilized AR and MR technology to guide the public in exploring the blend of reality and virtuality. “Memories of Cyanotypes” invited the public on an artistic journey of memory, mixing cyanotype techniques with glow-in-the-dark creations.

In the afternoon, Eye Catching Circus presented “Dream of the Green Museumbrary,” followed by a screening of Banksy Most Wanted, prompting the audience to consider whether an artist’s true identity should be uncovered.

In the future, the museum will continue promoting activities that blend art with the environment, integrating art into daily life and sharing it with citizens. Our aim is to achieve cultural equity and inject fresh cultural energy into Taichung City.
