Taipei, New Taipei City and Keelung are working together to promote street artist performances and other cultural activities in their cities. The three cities are neighbors in northern Taiwan.

Director General of Taipei’s Department of Cultural Affairs Tsai Tsung-Hsiung said they want to their cities to offer many tasteful and diverse cultural activities.  As many people live and work between the three cities, he said the three cities will work together to promote city services and artistic programs.

The cities are working on 6 areas of cooperation. This includes enabling artists to perform in Taipei and New Taipei City once they receive their license and providing a one-stop window to help those who want to film in their cities. They will also work together to promote their children’s art festivals, artists-in-residence program exchanges and cultural publications.     [FULL  STORY]
