Description of Our Community: Hsing-Chuang was one of the earliest developed area in the north of Taiwan. In the early Ching Dynasty, uncountable sails and shops around the ports made Shing-chuang a thriving trading and agriculture center of northern Taiwan. In front of the new and historical background, Shing-chuang is speeding up her paces by compromising her traditional culture with modern living style. Nowadays, the residents have been leading by a group of enthusiastic and experienced artists to create artifacts for publics. The residents and artists work together to glamorize the living environment. This kind of participation is a new trial. And we believe, it will be successful.

Project Description: The story of this project started from a big ceramic map in Hsing-Chuang Culture & Arts Center. We have been searching information by surfing the Internet, interviewing and discussing with people. During the researching process, we¡¦ve experienced some valuable stories that also emphasized the relationship between residents and public arts. How was the big ceramic map displayed? Why this map? Why was it done by a group of people instead of artists?What are we going to do in the future? Lots of questions was asked about this project. We are going to summarize the information, do the field survey, interview artists, designers, volunteers. Anddisplay all the result by our Website "Community Art - Play With Us"
