The Ju Ming Cultural and Educational Foundation and the Farglory Cultural and Educational Foundation have jointly launched the “One Art Pass for 365 Days” aesthetic sponsorship program, which commenced on September 1 this year. Elementary school students and teaching staff from 367 schools in Taipei City and New Taipei City can visit the Ju Ming Museum for free, unlimited times, for a period of one year, benefiting nearly 430,000 students and faculty members. This is also the largest-scale aesthetic sponsorship program in the history of the Ju Ming Cultural and Educational Foundation.

To help children develop the habit of visiting art museums from an early age, the Ju Ming Cultural and Educational Foundation and the Farglory Cultural and Educational Foundation have introduced the “365 Kids Passport.” Any elementary school student from the greater Taipei area who holds the “One Art Pass for 365 Days” can earn one point by visiting either the Ju Ming Museum in New Taipei City or the Ju Ming Museum Art Education Lab in Taipei City, or by participating in workshops. Accumulate ten points to get free admission to Farglory Ocean Park in Hualien.

Ju Ming, founder of the Ju Ming Museum, often said, “Plant the seed of art in the heart.” Upholding Mr. Ju Ming’s philosophy, the Ju Ming Museum established a “Children’s Art Center,” nurtures young “artisans,” and organizes children’s sculpture camps, accumulating over a decade of experience in art education. The “One Art Pass for 365 Days” aesthetic program provides students in the greater Taipei area with a dedicated museum for learning and exploration. Invisibly, children gain spiritual or emotional fulfillment, enhance their aesthetic appreciation, and broaden their horizons.
