Abstract

In recent years, the rapid pace of urbanization and industrialization has resulted in significant population declines and economic downturns in many rural areas. To counter these challenges, participatory art has emerged as a valuable tool for rural revitalization. Unlike traditional art forms, participatory art actively engages community members in the creative process, thereby promoting cultural expression and fostering economic development. This paper explores the impact of participatory art on rural economic revitalization through detailed case studies of Yim Tin Tsai in Hong Kong and Meinong in Taiwan. These examples demonstrate how participatory art can enhance community cohesion, stimulate cultural industry growth, and drive economic innovation. However, the implementation of such initiatives faces obstacles, including varying levels of community participation, financial constraints, and cultural differences. To address these challenges, the paper suggests strategies such as enhancing community education, securing financial and technical support, and fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration to strengthen the effectiveness of participatory art in achieving sustainable rural development.
