The Taiwan East Coast Land Arts Festival & Moonlight Sea Concert will be held in June. This annual shindig held on Taiwan’s scenic east coast focuses on art, the environment and Indigenous communities. This year’s theme is "fluid borders." In addition to local artists, noted artists from various Asian countries will also be showing off their works. FTV reporter Stephany Yang gives us a preview.

Indigenous singers take to the stage with captivating performances. Held since 2015, the annual festival’s themes are the environment and Indigenous art.

The festival this time around has recruited local artists and international artists from Japan, Malaysia and Bali to reside in Taiwan’s east coast and create art. Their works will be on display during the festival.

Three of the five works this year are by international artists from Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. There will be also works by local artists. This year’s theme is “fluid borders.” Organizers hope to showcase both the diversity and blending of cultures through artistic creation as well as biological diversity.

Aside from artworks, there is also the “Moonlight Sea Concert”, composed of local and international singers, as well as markets and workshops.

There are eight Moonlight Sea Concerts this year. We have different monthly themes and have invited different singers. We have invited very important musicians from our east coast and other parts of Hualien and Taitung to perform and talk about how they became such successful music stars. There are also many surprise guests.

The Taiwan East Coast Land Arts Festival and Moonlight Sea Concert will take place from June 21 to Sept. 20.
