Boai Art Street Introduction
Located in Yonghe District, New Taipei City, Boai Street was initiated by a group of retired teachers who had high hopes for community development, leading to the establishment of the New Taipei City Yonghe Art Education Development Association. The goal was to integrate art into daily life and bring it into the neighborhood. This 500-meter-long Boai Art Street has increasingly enriched its cultural atmosphere, transforming through a special street creation plan. The best urban art shouldn't be confined to museums; ideally, art should be taken to the streets or let the streets become art. A specially paved pedestrian walkway extends from Yonghe Road to the end of the street, reaching the Yonghe branch of Chuangjing Senior High School, with its reddish-brown tiled roof and white walls complemented by artistic carved arches and window frames. Along the surrounding walls, over twenty large reproductions of paintings by local artist Yang San-Lang are installed. Yang San-Lang's art museum quietly sits in the middle of the street. Here, you can stroll along the beautiful shaded Flamboyant tree path or enter the museum to appreciate the rich collection of paintings. In the tranquil alleys, there are many little surprises waiting for you to discover.
