Heading of the Art Village

Following the tourism village, Bali is now setting about looking for and determining the villages of which inhabitants are competent in several kinds of art. It means to preserve the existing and developing art and culture from time immemorial at those villages. How and what prompts the concept of such an art village? Simply browse the opinion of reliable Balinese artist, Prof. Dr I Wayan Dibia carried in this edition of Bali Travel News.
Since early times, Bali has different traditions and they continue to develop up to this moment in time. But, due to the crowded flow of local migrants to Bali, the concept of art village should be a reminder. If in the future Balinese art heads for extinction, Bali will assuredly be deserted by tourists because Bali has claimed itself as the region of (Balinese) cultural tourism. “To enhance the understanding of the community on the potential of their art, the government needs to determine the status as art village to particular villages having the art that should be preserved,” revealed I Wayan Dibia, a lecturer of Faculty of Performing Arts at the Indonesia Institute of Arts (ISI) Bali.
Also in this edition of Bali Travel News catch up on a wide variety of up-to-date news events in April such as the challenging mountain bike attraction at the GWK Cultural Park and other intriguing activities. Enjoyable reading!
