Description:
1. In accordance with the Ministry of Education's letter Tai Shi (1) Zi No. 1090097329 dated August 5, 2020.
2. The aforementioned expo is the longest-running and grandest annual art event independently operated in Asia, listed as one of the top three expos in Asia. In 2020, it is scheduled to be held from October 23 (Friday) to October 26 (Monday) at Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, with an Art Education Day event on October 26 (Monday), under the guidance of the Ministry of Education.
3. Art Education Day is open for group registrations from secondary and primary schools, with pre-event educational courses and on-site guided tours arranged by the association. To encourage active participation from all levels of schools to promote students' cultural experiences, the Ministry of Education will subsidize related expenses. The planned principles are as follows:
(1) 500 discounted tickets will be provided, primarily for general schools (with priority given to art classes or vocational departments related to art and design) and remote schools. The organizer may allocate based on actual registration.
(2) Each discounted ticket is NT$250. Students only need to pay NT$100, with the remaining NT$150 subsidized by the Ministry of Education.
(3) Round-trip bus transportation and insurance fees will be subsidized by the Ministry of Education.
(4) The association will provide teaching materials such as sketchbooks for on-site use, and the Ministry of Education will subsidize the material costs.
(5) Any additional expenses such as meal and accommodation fees may be covered by the applying unit within its self-raised funds.
4. To effectively manage ticket distribution, schools interested in registering should first contact the Taiwan Art Gallery Association by phone to confirm ticket availability and pre-register. Then, submit the registration form via fax or email. Registrations without prior phone confirmation will not be accepted. Contact information is as follows:
