2026 Guandu International Nature Art Festival

Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture Festival, dating back to 2006, was Taiwan's first large-scale natural art festival held in a conservation park. The Park is located in Guandu Wetland, a place with unique estuary culture and diverse ecosystem. The Festival takes place annually and invites artists all over the world to create site-specific outdoor installations by using natural materials. The purpose of this Festival is not only about art and aesthetics but also about delivering messages caring for the environment. Public participation also plays an important part in the Festival. Through communication and cooperation with local communities and volunteers, artists are able to learn from local wisdom and try to blend in the local culture in their works. With the experience in the past two decades, the Festival has come to a new stage in 2016 by resetting its title to “Guandu International Nature Art Festival.” The triangle composed of river culture, wetland conservation, and environmental art is still the solid foundation of the curatorial concepts. Guandu International Nature Art Festival is expected to serve as a catalyst to deepen the public’s awareness of our environment, as well as care for local cultures. It is hoped that every single participant of the Festival will take the initiative to connect with their surroundings, to get inspired by nature, and to make an effort in finding a way to a sustainable future.

My First Arquetopia Residency

Arquetopia is thrilled to announce the launch of My First Arquetopia Residency, a new two-week introductory program designed exclusively for applicants ages 20 to 25 who are beginning, rethinking, or formalizing their artistic practice. This program is conceived for emerging or first-time residents who wish to define or reframe the foundations of their work through contextual immersion and guided observation. Taking place in Puebla between March and July, the residency is intentionally scheduled during academic recesses — spring and summer breaks — allowing young artists and students to pursue an international residency experience in Mexico without interrupting their studies. Over two weeks, participants engage closely with local museum collections, develop critical reflection through weekly meetings, and undertake structured field visits that situate artistic practice within broader social, historical, and material frameworks. Guided by one of three thematic axes — Gender, Landscape, and Museums & Collections — participants will follow a schedule that blends study, observation, and dialogue. Activities include in-situ classes, individualized mentoring, guided collection visits, and academic sessions at institutions such as Museo Bello, Museo de la Revolución, Museo del Alfeñique, and the Biblioteca Palafoxiana. My First Arquetopia Residency offers young artists a grounded and mentored point of departure — a space to reflect, experiment, and begin their creative trajectory with intention and responsibility.

2026 Kio-A-Thau Sugar Refinery Artist Village ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

In the 1990s, Kio-A-Thau (Ciaotou) Sugar Refinery and its surrounding area were incorporated into Kaohsiung’s New Town Development Plan, a project that changed the urban landscape and topography on a large scale. Turning back the clock, this year, we try to look for what spatial landscape that Ciaotou District presents “before the new town was built" in the rolling tide of history. Theme of 2026: "The Boundary of Old Towns". Boundaries can be geographical, conceptual, relational, etc. "The space intertwined by boundaries" is a carrier, also a field consisted of visible and invisible reproduction, therefore, we should define the boundaries of ourselves and the space, searching for the multi-layered boundaries constructed through sound, vision, material and settlement.
