Description of Our Community: Ruifang was a very famous and popular mining town which located in northeastern Taiwan. It is a town filled with historical events and stories. Now Ruifang turns into a hot attraction for artists and also tourists around the world. With its rich background, and still lots of stories to be found. We'd like to show the world our hometown, and of course, helping our next generations to know where they come from.

Project Description: The legendary asphalt artist, Mr. Xi-Xun Chiu, is the one and only artist who uses alpha;t for his works. He's been living in this area for more than 30 years. When he first arrived here, he found that all the roofs were painted with asphalt, and that was the idea of painting with it. He also wanted to form an art community here, but nothing really worked. Now, with the passion of our students and teachers, we visited Mr. Chiu and discussed about this project, we both feel that'll be a great event for both our community and also the next generation.
