The 2020 Taoyuan Landscape Art Festival will take place from September 18 to October 4, 2020, across Zhongli Dalan and Pingzhen Shuanglianpo. Over 17 days, the festival will delve into the theme “Building Cities,” exploring the interplay between urban and rural landscapes, land, and architecture. It will focus on the future of cities, natural landscapes, and circular economies, bridging the gap between highly urbanized areas and their surrounding rural regions while highlighting the connections between ecology, architecture, and culture.

This year’s festival features “Bamboo” as its central theme, with exhibitions set up in Zhongli Dalan and Pingzhen Shuanglianpo. Artists are invited to create works that reflect the unique natural and cultural aspects of these areas or to engage in collaborative projects with the public. The festival also considers the role of bamboo in living spaces and its potential for industry development, aiming to position Taoyuan as a prominent international cultural event.

The festival will showcase 28 art installations by 51 artists from Taiwan and abroad, including participants from Japan, Indonesia, and Myanmar. The Dalan exhibition area will feature 9 artworks at locations such as Yuzhang Lake, Chongde Temple, and nearby communities. In the Shuanglianpo area, 19 artworks will be displayed at sites including Fort Park, Shimen Big Ditch Ridge Trail, and the vicinity of Central University.
