Art Site 新竹市鐵道藝術村

2016 年開始,智邦藝術基金會接受新竹市政府文化局委託經營新竹市鐵道藝術村,從「培育及扶植藝術家」「發展藝術教育」兩個面向出發,以藝術為媒介,為鄰近新竹市火車站,具備文化資產身份的鐵道藝術村及其周邊鄰里,注入新的活力。


每年,藝術基金會會在此扶植至少 6 位國內外藝術家,並和在地大專院校對接,進行產業相關實習合作。藝術村作為育成中心,不只是駐村藝術家們的工作室、展覽空間,同時這裡也是孵化藝術行政、展策人員實作的第一現場。同時,藝術村也肩負起藝術教育推廣的責任,嘗試拋開「白盒子」框架,結合地人才資源,合力開設工作坊、講座、課程,希望推廣藝術思維,讓大眾可以藉由藝術學習提問、探究、觀察、描述,進而比較、連結及推理。


新竹市鐵道藝術村前身為臺鐵倉庫,興建年代約在西元 1941-1950 年間,由紅磚、杉木衍架、水泥瓦構成,室內無任何支柱,充分展現屋頂衍樑結構之美。 西元 1997 年文建會推動「鐵路藝術網絡」計畫,在新竹市政府規劃下變為,3-5 號倉庫被指定為藝術村。經過數度整修後,藝術村在西元 2004 年正式開館,並於西元 2015 年被登錄為歷史建物


智邦藝術基金會相信藝術村和任何一個地方藝文單位,都是都市規劃裡重要的文化細胞。對內加強軟硬體構面的同時,和在地、甚至外地其他館舍進行串接互動,都具備正向意義 。館舍彼此間的交往,有助於文化細胞向外擴散,增加民眾參與藝術的深度及廣度,提升地方的藝文活動質量,達到文化平權,進而豐富城市的樣貌!
