About the National Cheng Kung University Art Center

Establishment and Organization
The National Cheng Kung University Art Center was established in 1999 as a first-level administrative unit within the university. Originally comprising three sections—the Exhibition Section, the Performing Arts Section, and the Education Section—the center underwent an organizational restructuring in June 2022, reorganizing into the Research and Planning Section, the Visual Arts and Performing Arts Section, and the Education and Development Section. Professor Chia-Han Yang of the Institute of Creative Industries Design currently serves as the Head of the Center.

Purpose of Establishment
The purpose of establishing this Center is to promote a culture of arts, cultivate a humanistic and artistic perspective on campus and in the community, introduce contemporary artistic trends, and advance education in aesthetic literacy.

The Art Center actively encourages faculty, students, and community members to participate in art-related activities through exhibitions, performances, lectures, and other events.

Main Responsibilities

• Planning and implementing the “Aesthetics and Arts Certificate Program,” which, through competency-based, hands-on, and integrated courses, enables students to understand the essence of art and gain hands-on experience in artistic creation.
• Inventorying and preserving the university’s art assets, establishing a digital archive database, and showcasing the university’s artistic and humanistic strengths.
• Providing administrative support for public art installation projects both on and off campus, and actively promoting artistic education and the dissemination of art and culture.
   

Development Goals
With the goal of achieving the university’s humanistic core of holistic education, the Center continues to invigorate the development of the campus’s artistic and cultural environment and is committed to promoting aesthetics education.
