In the spring of 2015, Qijin Beach was all about art. The Hui Chuan Art Festival officially opened on April 2nd in front of the plaza opposite Qijin Dao Hotel in Kaohsiung and ran until May 31st. For two months, every Saturday and Sunday afternoon, through cross-border pop-up performances, 12 performance groups took turns presenting shows, bringing visitors a splendid experience full of the Avignon-style flair from France.

Curator Zhang Wang said: “Since 2012, the Hui Chuan Art Festival held 178 performances over three months at Taipei Huashan Plaza. This year, the Hui Chuan Art Festival has moved to Qijin in Kaohsiung, with the hope of taking root here and making Taiwan an island of original art. Continuing with ‘cross-border diversity,’ the festival gathers performing artists and groups from various fields, linking them into a series of cultural and artistic performances. With Qijin’s beach and sea view as the backdrop, accompanied by the sunset and sea breeze, it showcases the fusion and interaction of nature and art, bringing visitors a cultural feast where every turn reveals creativity and every scenic view is filled with art.”
