The 2026 Tainan Arts Festival invites you to join us in saying "Suí-ooh!"—that magical moment when an encounter with art, a line from a performance, a melody, or even an ordinary moment in everyday life suddenly begins to shine.

From emerging Taiwanese creators to international collaborative projects, and from theatre and dance to exhibitions and public art initiatives, this year's festival continues to explore five curatorial themes:
Made in Taiwan, Global Connections, Urban Voices, Education Co-Creation, and Arts Connect.

Together with eight Tainan-based artists serving as co-curators, the festival invites art to slowly become part of the city—and part of our daily lives.

Rather than telling you what art is, we'd rather invite you to come and experience it for yourself.

Come and explore.
Come and play.
See if life feels just a little different afterwards.

Not every change arrives with great fanfare.

Sometimes, it's simply walking through Tainan and suddenly finding yourself thinking:

"Wow… today feels like everything is shining."
