The executive secretary of the Tourism Bureau, Cai Mingling, said that the East Coast Land Arts Festival is the bureau’s promotional focus, as well as part of the “Formosa Summer Fest” event series. All tour operators are encouraged to offer art festival tour packages. French consultant Gelei of the Ministry of Culture mentioned that Hualien and Taitung areas are Taiwan’s treasures, as well as an international tourist destination, it deserves to be recommended to travelers. Since the East Coast Land Arts Festival has already grabbed the attention of the international art scenes, this year’s “Southeast Asia Art Residence Forum” has been specially organized to take place in Taitung as a result, adjoining the Moonlight Sea Concert in September. She plans to lead Franch artists to participate in the event then. Director Hirokazu Matsuda of the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association himself likes to travel to Hualien and Taitung and would help share this event with more Japanese friends.

Lin Weiling, the director of ECNSA, said what made the East Coast Land Arts Festival different from other art festivals, is the artistic energy nurtured by the ocean and land. Its art is embedded in the daily lives of those who live here. Through this event, the charms and attractiveness of the East Coast Taiwan can be revealed to the outside world. “The East Coast Land Arts Festival” integrates landscapes and cultures, bringing artists from around the country and around the world together, interacting with inspired and synergistic locals in the villages to co-create artworks for its residency program. Based on the concept of the art corridor, it also connects various deep-rooted local artist studios along the coast. It is even staged in front of the ocean, with the audience sitting on the ground under the sky and moonlight, enjoying the “Moonlight Sea Concert.” It has become a focus around local and overseas art and literature circles, performers and the majority of common tourist. “Moonlight Sea Concert” has been honored as one of the seven major summer concerts in Taiwan and become everyone’s not-to-be missed travel destination.
Artist Residency
Artist Residency program will invite long term residences of Dulan Village, local artists Siki Sufin, Futuru Tsai, and DJ Hatfield from the Berkeley College of Music in the US, whose long term research focus is music and cultural studies of the Dulan Amis in Taitung. The three artists will collaborate from October to November in setting up a multimedia installation on the Amis people’s ancestral land, Dulan Cape, to represent their cultural roots and active life. Meanwhile, this installation will also be used as the entrance imagery for the Amis Music Festival.
Aligning with the 2020 Mountain Travel Year Campaign, the East Coast Land Arts Festival’s annual theme “Gathering Boundary” will look into the geographic features of the East Coast, being on the border between Eurasia Plate and Phillippine Sea Plate, and considering the artistic sparks created by impactful encounters between the mountainous and the oceanic cultures. We are accepting proposals this year for the selection of five local and overseas artists, as well as four Open Studio partners. It is hoped that one entire year of planning and preparation will infuse the energy of plate aggregation further, soaking in and curing the artworks.
“Moonlight Sea” Concerts
In addition to the still art exhibitions, the “Moonlight Sea Concerts” began in 2016 and has been known for its brilliant contents as well as a romantic and chill ambiance. The ECNSA Headquarters turn the Duli visitor center to a world-class outdoor venue for live performances. On selected full moon night, view of the “rising moon” is incorporated as the background of a gigantic natural theater. It has been highly recognized by the audience, local and foreign performers.
