Presenting eight major exhibition zones and eight thematic projects throughout the city, Taipei Art Week reaches widely into various corners of the city – collaborating with over 70 galleries, museums, art institutions, and artist studios. This year’s edition introduces new collaborations with art institutions and public art initiatives, infusing creativity into urban life. A major highlight will be the second edition of the Taipei Art Week Forum, which deepens the city’s role as a regional hub through meaningful international exchange and cultural dialogue. Together, these programs reaffirm Taipei’s position as a vibrant cultural metropolis in Asia.

This year, ART TAIPEI and Taipei Art Week will focus on the theme "Intersect: Diversity Equals Togetherness," reflecting the diverse and inclusive ecology of Taiwan's art scene while exploring the most pressing issues that face the global art community. Existing at the intersection of high-tech infrastructure and an inclusive civil society, Taiwan demonstrates a forward-thinking spirit in artistic creation – continually responding to discussions surrounding gender, ethnicity, and marginalized identities.

Key highlights include:

FOCUS | Film Sector: In response to Taiwan’s identity as a global hub of technology, ART TAIPEI 2025 will feature a dedicated video art section, focusing on digital moving image practices. The program explores how technology serves as an artistic medium, highlighting artists’ cultural reflections and interventions within contemporary social contexts.

Indigenous Art Exhibition Area: ART TAIPEI continues its collaboration with the Indigenous Peoples Cultural Development Center to provide a platform for indigenous artists to showcase cultural diversity and contemporary expressions. This area will highlight the unique aspects of Taiwanese indigenous culture within the international art scene. Through exhibitions, panel discussions, and interactive activities, it aims to promote inclusive dialogue among ethnic cultures and realise the ethos of diversity and equity.
