The 2025 Formosa North Coast Arts Festival: Legends of Driftwood takes driftwood as the medium that bridges nature and humanity. Contemporary artists are invited to create using wood-based materials, breathing new life and meaning into driftwood through artistic intervention. The resulting works reflect the beauty of nature and the transformative power of cultural regeneration.
The arts festival goes beyond the exhibition of artworks, emphasising deep engagement with the local community. Through programmes such as art-in-schools and collaborative projects with local groups, art is woven into everyday life and becomes a driving force for cultural revitalisation. The festival envisions the North Coast as a vibrant site for artistic exchange, cultural connection and ecological sustainability. Through artistic action, it aims to foster ecological awareness and strengthen community bonds, positioning art as a core engine for sustainable tourism.
