A city's cultural and life memories are reflected in the daily lives of the residents. Culture and art exhibition spaces and historical buildings with a variety of characteristics are the results of long-term nurturing by the land and blooming in the city.

However, the blooming process requires extremely rich and active irrigation. Culture, art, and design require not only long-term cultivation, but also a variety of creative and innovative content and planning, as well as the incorporation of contemporary thinking, to constantly enrich competence in art and culture.

The Chiayi Art Museum is built upon the arts and culture characteristics of Chiayi, City of Paintings. Since the preparation period, it has been rooted in the "Preserving and promoting the value and glory of Chiayi, City of Paintings," "Incorporating creativity of aesthetics, art and culture into daily lives and education," "Enriching content of a cultural city in Chiayi" and diverse art development, shaping its important characteristics as an urban art museum. Therefore, the planning of exhibitions and performances takes into account the art history, content characteristics and city character, and takes the contemporary perspective for professional curation and art and culture activities to showcase the works and creation of past artists from the Japanese colonial period and contemporary artists, crossing the boundary of era, region and forms of works. Contemporary dialectics are brought into exhibitions, collections, research, promotion of education, publications and various events, enabling people to examine, search and understand the past from today's daily life and culture perspectives, and creating new perspectives to re-examine and explore our environmental and social issues.

We hope to apply different curation methods and create diverse dialogue spaces at the venue to extend everyone's imagination of art, further thinking about what kind of city we live in. At the same time, we hope to bring the art vitality from the outside world to Chiayi to create art dialogues, and enroot artistic creativity in the daily life and culture through international and local interdisciplinary events, so that the tradition and value of the City of Paintings can be revitalized in the venue shaped by the Museum to create new imagination and vision.
