Goals and Characteristics
 
    The Arts Center, founded in 1996, aims to provide and cultivate an artistic environment for Yuan Ze University as well as to promote the communication between the University and its community. Merged with the Graduate School of Visual Arts Management founded in 1999, the Arts Center was presided by the Chair of the Graduate School to enter upon all the exhibitions and activities with an academic emphasis. Under the educational ideas of the Graduate School, the graduate students are instructed and supervised by the professors to take full responsibilities for the planning of all events, including: exhibition program and display, promotion, educational activities, loans, insurance and shipping, research, and evaluation. The integration of academic programs and hands-on experience helps our students to understand the significant issues raised in theories and practices. In addition, the professional quality and scholarly nature promotes the Arts Center greatly in its exhibitions and events.
    The Arts Center is provided with the mission to present two different types of artistic activities on semester schedule: exhibitions and performance programs. The former covers various forms of arts such as paintings, sculptures and installation arts, whereas the latter includes dancing, concert and theater.
 

The objectives of the Arts Center are as follows:

 
  • To promote the humanistic and artistic atmosphere in the university, and to enrich the community with the feedback of artistic experience;
  • To lead the artistic events with academic rationale, and to varify theories with execution;
  • To stimulate the creativity of the faculty and students of the university with experimental events and operations.
