I sold out all my paintings during the exhibition, it made me overjoyed and felt that I was so pampered. Everybody was kind and friendly to us, it made me feel just like home. I’ll come back next week. Those collectors who acquired my works expressed their love to my paintings, which were affordable to them; it’s even better that they brought their friends along. My motivation to paint has been to touch people, therefore, I would like to know people’s opinions on my works. It’s great to interact with those people who like my paintings. I was pleased to have photos with them, even they didn’t buy my paintings. The best part of this trip was a great result beyond my expectation. I knew nothing about this place and people before I came here. Now I feel so recognized that I’m full of energies to get back to my work.
Richard Young(UK)
It’s so impressive about the exhibition last year, so the attendance is a must for this year. Just like last time, my daughter studying at the art college come with me, in hopes of meeting her idol—Pasqua. Even though she didn’t meet Pasqua personally, but grasped the chance to see his latest works, and to exchange ideas with various artists at the exhibition, which all made this trip worthwhile.
I like the diversification in A.R.T., and the overall quality of paintings is excellent. It’s a converge of different cultures from the east and the west. It’s been my intention to meet different people and to show my works to more visitors, moreover to get feedbacks from viewers. The difference between A.R.T. and art fairs in UK is the British galleries take care of everything; while artists can meet collectors face to face at A.R.T.. The venue this year is larger with wider walkways, it’s better for watching paintings. The ceiling is better than last year, which makes the whole space more spacious and comfortable.
Kirk Bauer(USA)
My works were sold out last year, so I want to see the exhibition myself this year. It’s my first time to come to Asia and Taiwan, people here are so considerate and friendly.
I greatly value A.R.T. that I went to stay at the Kingdom of Tonga near Fiji for six months, because of the theme this year;”Transformation”. You can see my works this year are about the underwater world. My inspiration, techniques, color layout are very different from my innovation and breakthrough. I’m so happy that my works approved by the Art Director for the second time. Everything about the organizer is just great, all pleased me a lot.
Gabriel Picart(Spain)
It’s my second to be invited to A.R.T., I was very impressed from the exhibition last year. Some local artists exhibit their works this year, with whom I shared my story. The organizer even planned a special Spanish Art Zone. As to my transformation this year, you can see that the model shifts to my daughter from my wife. So the colors become more intensive and bright, to express the air of youth. I also have some works on the still life; but portraits are still my favorite.
It’s important to sell artworks, but it’s even more so for people to appreciate them. It’s the difference between galleries and museums. Actually I care more about the spiritual touches to viewers from my works. I admire dearly about the manners and conceptions from the organizer.
Pieter Wagemans(Belgium)
It’s my first to this exhibition, and A.R.T. surprised me a lot, with friendly staffs and well-planned organization. Compared to other art fairs, there are more realism artists at A.R.T., which makes me feel like home. There are artists from different countries to form an international art fair, not just a locally Asian one. It’s a great chance to watch other artists’ works via A.R.T., to come here next year again is my hope.
Cathy Pitts(USA)
Collectors saw and liked my works very much last year. And the Diamond series was sold out right at the VIP preview. It surprised me greatly. The quality of artworks is better than last year. The organizer is friendly and takes cares of every details, which makes me feel like home. The venue this year is much better and more spacious, to accommodate more visitors.
Maciej Gador(Poland)
A.R.T. is the best, especially in the excellent artists and the whole planning, even better than art fairs in Paris or London. It’s amazing to have some many foreign artists, and it’s just great to meet and interact with so many people. Everything is perfect. Visitors are amazing too. I’m so surprised that so many people like my works, especially people in Taiwan amazing me. I hope I can come back next year.
David Graux(France)
This is my first time visiting Asia. A.R.T. is well organized, and staffs are very helpful. I saw artworks in various styles. Everything’s just perfect, with many visitors and excellent introduction. It’s great indeed.
According to the theme-“Transformation” this year, I started new creations to present different series for review. I’m glad that exhibiting artworks selected by the organizer are also my favorites. I think to participate A.R.T. is good for my exhibition record. It’s also great to meet Anna, and artists from Argentina and China.
Rayka(Japan)
I attended the exhibitions at art fairs in U.S.A., Turkey, Germany, Italy and Holland, as well as Taiwan last year. To my surprise that people in Taiwan can actually accept Pasqua’s works, whom I thought would be more into figurative works. At A.R.T., I like paintings from Mario Gacia Miro and Ma Sing Ling. Ma Sing Ling’s paintings are quite abstract yet beautiful; the momentum is so powerful.
Sergio Martínez (Spain)
It’s my first to Asia, and it’s just amazing that I have received the invitation from such a distant country. I feel honored and surprised. A.R.T. is well planned and organized; the exhibiting works are great too. It’s nice to meet other artists at this occasion; I even met and got to know other Spanish artists in Taipei.
Ricardo Celma (Argentina)
I am excited and happy for my first visit to Taiwan and exhibition at A.R.T. Taiwan is a beautiful place. I attended many exhibitions around the world, most of them were like ‘fashion art’. To me, A.R.T. is the best art fair with diversified artworks around the world, which is rare in my own country. Artists are great to present various styles, which inspire me a lot. Everything is prefer in my eyes.
Anna Bocek (Poland)
It’s my first to Taiwan, a beautiful place with great people. Travelling is the source of my inspirations. I hope I can an ‘artist house’ in Taiwan, which is an area for a group of artists to paint in Europe. Artists can exchange and inspire each other. It’s very touching to me about the interactions between artists and collectors at A.R.T..
Ham Kyung Rack (Korea)
It’s my second to exhibit at A.R.T.. The environment this is much better than last year, more spacious and comfortable.
Jessica Lin (U.S.A.)
I exhibited at the first edition of A.R.T., when I was in the third grade of senior high school. Now I attend to an art college in U.S.A. and feel more confident in my artistic creations. That’s the reason I participate the third edition again. Only the mono-acrylic two years ago, now I’m transformed to apply the multi media, including oil paint, pencil, chalk and others. The themes are more various and diversified; I used to draw from photos only, and now I know how to use my imaginations.
The purpose for this year is to expose my works to the public, instead of selling them. I’ve also prepared my own website and Facebook, so interested people can get to know me. The service and exhibition from A.R.T. are great. I fulfilled my purpose to have a great exposure. It also made me very happy to have people encouraging me, as well as meeting other artists and exchanging updates. It’s very inspiring.
Roger Rishab Tibon(Philippines)
A.R.T. is more spacious this year, so visitors can enjoy paintings leisurely; the transportation is convenient, and the floor is very clean. This is the best art fair I’ve been attended ever, since it focuses on artists, instead of galleries.
Gilles Vanackere (France)
This is my third time to A.R.T.. I brought 3 works and sold 2 of them last year; for this year, I have 6 of 8 paintings exhibiting at the site, and 2 standby at the hotel. For the theme this year -- “Transformation”, I have changed my photo works from being colorful previously to currently black and white in 4 of them. I edited my photos to make the pure colors a small portion, to focus on the line structure, instead of colors. I believe visitors who buy my works must love some spot in it, which is the part I care much.
Christiane Vleugels(Belgium)
People really friendly and helpful.
Zhang Yuying(China)
A.R.T. is a wonderful platform for learning, exchanging, and exhibiting. It’s spirit-lifting. The harmonious interactions among people and friendly local culture I witnessed last year have impacts on my works. This edition of A.R.T. is even better than last year, with a more spacious exhibition hall and an even more diligent organizer. Every detail is attended; staff is friendly and helpful; visitors swarm in; the VIP preview is popular. Perhaps it’s owing to the successful publicity. It’s great to me. More visitors indicate the success of A.R.T..
The theme this year is “Transformation”. It’s good for artists to transform themselves. Thus visitors can enjoy different works every year, which in return makes the exhibition getting better and better. It’s also remarkable to focus on individual artists, instead of galleries. Artists attend the exhibition in person can be inspired by others’ works as well.
Jenny Gu(China)
In my opinions, the curation of A.R.T. is creative yet thoughtful. It’s great to see all artists named on the UFO at the entrance, very eye-catching. Of course I found my own name and took photos with it. The VIP preview is fabulous, with great atmosphere.
Wang Xuedong(China)
It’s my first to exhibit at A.R.T., which is, to me, not just a commercial exhibition, but also a cultural embodiment, to convey the charm of aesthetics to the public.
Zhang Shiying (China)
Greatly appreciate the platform offered by A.R.T. for my first participation, which is deeply touching. Staff and volunteers work very hard in their professional and dedicated way, yet the energy of joy permeates the site. It makes me feel happy and relaxed. With lots of time spent to talk to visitors, I they are earnest and willing to communicate their feelings to painters. People understand and appreciate my paintings, which are about the daily life.
Visitors are knowledgeable; conversations with them also inspire me greatly to think about the application of new media for more development and possibility in the future. I would like to attend the next edition, and would vigorously engage myself in self transforming and upgrading. I’ve donated my paintings for the Hundred Celebrities charity event for 3 years in a row, which is simple and genuine without the organizer’s intervention in the donation. It’s my pleasure to take part in this event continuously in the future.
Yao Xiaobao(China)
It’s such a pleasure to exhibit at this A.R.T..which is very open, embracing all kinds of contemporary or traditional styles. Visitors are quick to grasp the spirits of works, and communicate with me fluently; some of them even offer their feedbacks about positives/negatives, which makes me feel that they do understand my works. I don’t mind about the negative feedback, because that’s the motivation to progress.
Lu Chengxiang (China)
This is my first time to exhibit at A.R.T., a well-organized art fair. Participations from volunteers has enhanced the operation of exhibition. It’s touching that the VIP preview was so vibrant, and the Hundreds of Celebrities event meant so much. In general, A.R.T. is quite good, though smaller in scale than that of in China.
However, all details have been attended and taken good care of. The organizer also offered the assistance for packing. In China, artists have to do that on their own. The level of visitors is good, having their own understandings which resonate my original motif and conception. I’m pleased to have someone understand my works.
I agree with the theme –“Transformation”-- set by the organizer. It’s vital for artists to keep on improving themselves. It’s a great time to attend this exhibition with some friends this time, and to exchange some ideas with other artists. Surely I will participate the exhibition again if an opportunity available.
Yu Lian-Chun (Taiwan)
This is my third exhibition at A.R.T., very different from my own exhibition before. Some friends talked me into participating A.R.T., grasping the opportunity to exchange with other artists. So I did it, and feel great. It’s necessary to talk to the visitors vis-à-vis at A.R.T., so I take the time to explain to them about my works. It’s also part of the aesthetic education, and a great chance to promote arts.
Wen Tsung-Yi (Taiwan)
The organizer of A.R.T. is so meticulous to have such as good number of visitors. It’s an aesthetic festival with great social education implications.
Liu Jui-Chin(Taiwan)
I think the planning, publicity, exhibition and volunteers from A.R.T. are excellent.
Liang Hui-Min(Taiwan)
The curator for A.R.T. is just great! Volunteers are helpful; professional cleaners attend their duty continuously and efficiently. The whole environment has been remaining at the best condition.
Yeh Chin-Cheng(Taiwan)
At A.R.T., the overall atmosphere, personnel arrangement and exhibition layout are great.
Wang Wen-Cong(Taiwan)
I’m very touched by the dedication, pro-activity, and efficiency from the organizer of A.R.T.. For example, the administrative staff would pro-actively communicate and offer services 24 hours a day. They are meticulous in every detail, such as the greeting cards sent to artists for the new year. I do notice that the artists’ name on the cards are printed, instead of filling the blank spaces like others do. I feel being respected.
Yao Yuan(Taiwan)
It’s a well-planned exhibition. I agree with the principle from A.R.T. to focus on artists. But it seems to me the percentage of galleries increased. It’s terrific to set the theme as “Transformation”. I’m also on the way of seeking my transformation.
Lin Show-Chang(Taiwan)
The organizer is very dedicated, and staff is very helpful. The efficiency of exhibition is just awesome.
Cheng Chu-Hsuan(Taiwan)
It’s my first time to exhibit at A.R.T., with numerous visitors. Most of the time, my works are exhibited at galleries. It’s an extra-ordinary experience to talk to visitors vis-à-vis.
Shang Saho-Chen(Taiwan)
Seemingly there are more artists to exhibit at this A.R.T.; it’s also great to have more people from the art circle know that the idea to focus on artists at the exhibition is just remarkable.
Chiu Wut (Taiwan)
Each edition of A.R.T. is better than before. Excellent works exhibited are just like the other art fair, if not better. My suggestion to the organizer is to structure in a even more nouveau perspective and aspect, such as including videos or installations; the exhibition will be more diversified if the percentage can reach up to 10% or even more.
Zhan Zhen-Yan(Taiwan)
I’m touched since my registration to A.R.T., along the way from my qualification review, communication with staff, to their assistance in the exhibition as well as the maintenance for the environment. Their dedication shows in every detail.
Yang Hui-Chen(Taiwan)
The operation of A.R.T. is rather prudent and rigorous. Even though I’m a two-times exhibitor for A.R.T., but my qualification review was rejected, due to my conceptual draft only for my works. The organizer requested me to apply for review after I have finished my works. I took a few months off and travelled to Japan, in hopes of grasping inspirations for my works. I feel over-joyed for the opportunity to exhibit at this exhibition again.
Lin Ya-Ping(Taiwan)
The exhibition at A.R.T. makes me feel great and moved. I’ve engaged in Chinese paintings for more than 3 decades. In view of continuous trials and the more diversified motif, I’ve started to paint with oils two years ago. Both Chinese and oil paintings are just the media for artists to convey their thoughts and concepts. The point really lies in the way of depiction.
Ku Ya-Ren(Taiwan)
A.R.T. booth is spacious and comfortable. My booth is located in front of the area of Hundreds of Celebrities. After the even closed, the panels are replaced by sofas, which makes an open view. The tour guides stimulate the atmosphere; the interactions between artists and collectors are more vivid. It’s a great opportunity to meet with other artists, exchanging ideas and motivating each other. I get acquainted with staff and volunteers from my exhibition at A.R.T. for 3 years in a row, which makes me feel all of us improve ourselves together.
One of the interesting parts to exhibit at art fairs is to meet foreign artists, such as Peter from Belgium, who paints flowers as I do, but the expression of our flowers are different from each other. Even with the language barrier, we still can communicate through the interpreter. It’s a valuable opportunity for me. Christiane came to see my paintings; she likes them a lot. She brought me her cards, and I gave her my painting album in return. Christiane was pleasantly surprised, and we had photos to record this historical moment of “when east meets west”.
Yang Chin-Yao(Taiwan)
The dedicated preparation in all aspects from the organizer is so good to create a platform for artists and collectors to exchange on. It also displays the market trend here in Taiwan. The point for artists to exhibit at A.R.T. is to prepare everything well, such as personal network and collectors.
Tung Yao(Taiwan)
I think everything about A.R.T. is great, which allows artists to express themselves at their best and activates the art circle. Thus, the public can be exposed to great arts and upgrade themselves spiritually.
Kuo Yen-Fu(Taiwan)
I think A.R.T. convey an important message; that is to paint itself is not just a happy thing to do, but also good for building self-confidences.
Lin Jen-Shan(Taiwan)
I exhibited at A.R.T. last year; the atmosphere is free and open. It’s great to encounter with collectors; moreover, it’s a platform for artists to exchange and inspire each others.
Tseng Hsiao-Te(Taiwan)
I feel great. I didn’t exhibit my portraits in lare-scale, but small landscapes.
Yao Chih-Chieh(Taiwan)
I wasn’t available for the first and second editions. In response to Mr. Lu Tsung-Tsan’s urge, I participate A.R.T. with a group of artists from Hsin-Chu. It’s just fantastic to talk with collectors and other artists. My special thank goes to the volunteer who takes care of my booth; her dedication is so touching to me.
ANO(Taiwan)
In general it’s more or less like that of last year, only the time is shifted from late March to early May. I have more than one month extra to prepare for my exhibition.
AER(Taiwan)
There are many visitors, especially young people, which is similar to that of hotel fairs. It’s important to have entertainers take their part, to connect with different channels. The only suggestion from me is to have a grand opening ceremony, since it’s an important routine for other art fairs with musicians and host/hostess. Artists will go for that. I feel great for the rest, such as sufficient staffing and nice services.
Yang Chang-Ching(Taiwan)
I like the artistic creation, especially the moment in working, which grants me the sense of existence. It’s also an exit to channel out the spiritual or social pressures. It’s great that at A.R.T., my works communicate directly with viewers. What I like most is to concentrate on the moment, which is the life itself to me.
Darren(Taiwan)
I feel honored to exhibit at A.R.T., since my major was in the design. It’s also pleasant to exchange ideas with everybody, and get to know many friends.
Kuo Yu-Chun (Taiwan)
The event of A.R.T. is successful; it’s a good opportunity to exhibit and present my works. Artists can be approached freely by the public and collectors without the intervention from galleries. The global, positive and exquisite perspective from the organizer is really helpful for art lovers. Prof. Lee Sun-Don is highly appreciated. I learn a lot from this exhibition. Firstly, it’s great to communicate with other artists; secondly, it’s helpful to reflect my own position from my own observation in the contemporary art trends, as well as how to express my inspirations.
Lin Zong-Fan(Taiwan)
I think the structure of A.R.T. is good and perfect. However, it seems not sufficient to promote to the public. If with the publicity in the TV commercial, the event would be more eye-catching.
Chi Lien (Taiwan)
Every aspect about A.R.T. is great.
Hsieh Tong-Liang(Taiwan, represented by Hsieh Mei-Huang)
The organizer of A.R.T. has been working hard, with all of us together. It’s also highly appreciated that the exhibition is not based on the platform of galleries. Artists can zealously communicate with collectors and art lovers face to face genuinely.
Chung Tun-Hao(Taiwan)
vIt’s great! Exhibitions at A.R.T. are diversified, yet unified at the same time. In which we can find a certain direction among diversifications. The staff for exhibition is very diligent, the security team is great too.
Wu Shang-Yung(Taiwan)
A.R.T. is great in every aspect.
Cheng Chen-Wen(Taiwan)
A.R.T. is great. It’s necessary to have bonds on life and affections for the materials I draw. That’s the reason I draw bananas, grapes and flowers planted by myself; kindly grandpa and grandma. The transformation is not about the appearance, but the inner side above-all. Taiwan is a beautiful island; it’s a transformation to expand the depth and amplitude in the beauty of Taiwan.
Dong Hao-Yun(Taiwan)
I found the information about A.R.T. on the Internet, signed myself up and passed the qualification review. The staff is diligent, dutiful, and dedicated. Many people with expertise asked questions to me; it’s helpful for me to explore the concepts.
Huang Teng-Hsuan(Taiwan)
I’m very touched by exhibiting at A.R.T., which is excellent in the general design, service, and exhibition. This is an international art fair I would highly recommend to others.
Lai Tian-Ming(Taiwan)
I would like to thank A.R.T. offering me the chance to find so many perceptive people out there. All of my works have been represented by galleries, so I don’t know the people who bought my works, or any collectors. The volunteer from A.R.T. is professional, understanding the features of my works. She even told me that she knew my previous works. The organizer is well-organized in the publicity. I didn’t tell friends about my exhibition; they come to the art fair and surprised that I am here. Wang Tsei-Hsiung, my teacher from the Normal University, also visited the show; and he got the information from the media, not through me.
台灣藝術家 傅浩軒
A.R.T.的工作人員讓我很感動，他們很專業，志工願意付出，很努力很棒，而且也很客氣。我很感謝工作人員，因為我動作很慢，有些東西都遲了，但她都幫我概括承受，非常謝謝。
台灣藝術家 林葆靈
我現在還是師大美術系水墨組博士班一年級，這是我第一次來參加台北新藝術博覽會，帶來的作品皆以夜間景象為主，我喜歡作不同的嚐試，晚上的光影很有神秘感且具戲劇性，所以特別吸引我。我曾參加過台北藝術博覽會、飯店博覽會等等，我覺得台北新藝術博覽會還蠻多元、豐富的。
台灣藝術家 蘇湘竹
我是第一次參加這種大型博覽會，2012年曾在新北巿藝廊辦過個展，也參加過聯展。感謝A.R.T.提供藝術家很好的展現舞台、設備及導覽人員。以往佈展都是自己一個人，但這次有佈展人員的協助，他們真的很專業。
台灣藝術家 邱匡瑜
感謝A.R.T.給這個機會，可以讓自己第一次在大的場地發表畫作，有群眾給回饋和建議，拓展人脈和領域，而不是自己在家關著門創作，對處理細節很有幫助。
台灣藝術家 陳沛逸
這是我第一次參加A.R.T.這樣的大型展覽會，對自己很有幫助，有平台可以展現自己作品。
台灣藝術家 曾敏龍
希望大會能多幫我們宣傳，讓我們有更多曝光的機會。大家好像都有大型的畫作，下次如果有機會參加，我會改變策略，畫一些更吸引人的作品。
台灣藝術家 紅膠囊
我很高興能參與，這次畫作的顏色比較鮮艷，是因為做音樂的關係。我有修佛，這次我畫的很開心，我曾經以為我不夠喜歡畫畫，但實際畫了以後現更喜歡。畫美術很健康，完全對自己負責，也讓人很滿意。A.R.T.是好的展場，是可以賣作品的地方。
台灣藝術家 陳秀雯
第一次參加大型展會，很高興參加A.R.T.。
台灣藝術家 郭心漪
這是我第一次參加這種大型展會，也是第一次和觀者互動，我很高興能參加A.R.T.。我每一年自己都會為作品設定不同主題。以創作來說，人生一直轉變，所以每個時期都會有不同體悟，對創作者而言，轉變的需求會更強烈，創作者要忠於自己，創作才會誠懇，我希望自己的作品是雋永的，而不是短暫的。
台灣藝術家 廖容嬋
第一次參加大型展會，目前只參加國際大賽。此回參加A.R.T.是無心插柳，我在臉書FB看到訊息，覺得是不錯的機會，就報名參展，因為比較能接觸到更多的藏家。
台灣藝術家 郭明福
每年我都會辦個展，但這是第一次參加大型展會。藝術可以結合生活，做很多工作，就像音樂也是。藝術家把畫畫當成是一種表達情緒的方式，表現心中的快樂或生氣。我覺得這是一個很好的活動，和畫廊博覽會做比較的話，A.R.T.比較多元、親民，做得更好。
台灣藝術家 王毓淞
郭明福是我師大附中的老師，陳沛逸是小兩屆的學弟，A.R.T.讓我們大家又齊聚一堂，讓我覺得很不可思議。
參加A.R.T.，就好像把我從井底拉出來，看到整個世界，心情變得很謙和，也讓我學習到很多，像是平等的心境。畫作放在博物館看，是很崇高的感受；但是放在A.R.T展場，主辦單位讓每個人都能平等看待每位藝術家。藝術家之夜是很棒的機會，可以讓我認識很多藝術家，也是很棒的舞台，讓我可以認識很多朋友。A.R.T的服務，是典藏級的服務。
台灣藝術家 林家慶
台北新藝術博覽會很好、很專業，想不出要改善的地方。
畫廊
名傳畫廊
主辦單位很用心，把展覽辦的很熱鬧，也帶動很多人來參觀。
八大畫廊
許東榮老師只有參加A.R.T.一直都在場，其他藝博會較少。
四行倉庫
這次藝博會的檔次水平比去年高，部分的水平普通，但是不影響到整體。
名典畫廊
連續三屆參加，本來第一次純試水溫，但被A.R.T.的行銷創意、人潮吸引、展務運作感動，因此每年都參加，我覺得A.R.T.非常好，提供場地平台，將人潮聚集，該做的都做了，每年的銷售也都很滿意。
Ovas Art Gallery
前兩屆我所代理的泰國藝術家，已交給串藝術幫我代理，所以這屆本來沒計畫參加。去年11月看到散子老師的畫，畫好又有收藏加值，感謝大會讓我即時參加。雖然散子在台的知名度還不夠，但這次已有藏家注意到他的畫作，明年我會加強宣傳，也會擴大展位，因為我對散子老師的作品有信心，對A.R.T.更有信心。
萬菓國際藝廊
我們的畫廊是專門代理土耳其的藝廊，目前已代理15位土耳其藝術家，本次送大會審核通過兩位。相較於其他藝博會，我覺得A.R.T.的客人比較多元化，這是優點，因為培養新客源是好的。A.R.T.做的很好，如果需要的話，我們也願意在大會教育訓練時，介紹我們所代理的藝術家給工作人員。
參觀來賓、「百大名人‧慈善義賣」參與者
南部化成公司董事長 王東章
很喜歡A.R.T.，辦得很棒，今年場地氣勢更不一樣了，很正面的藝術力量。贊助藝企相投企劃，藝術家很用心在做，是蠻好的活動。
鈺德科技公司董事長 張昭焚
以山水及日出的陽光為創作主題，象徵非常美好的未來及人生要好好開拓。百大名人是非常有意義的活動，藉此發揮愛心，買的人花1千元，是一個捐贈的開始，又能得到作品。藝博會人潮很多，很有氣勢，而且細心規劃九大展區，可以很清楚找到喜歡的作品。
智鼎光電股份有限公司董事長 蔡添進
作品由我構思，請藝術家朋友李蓁繪製而成。畫面中有一男一女，男女中間的眼代表人要用眼內觀，並配合藍天、白雲與大地，表現天人合一的景象。藝博會辦得很棒，慈善義賣的活動也相當用心。
景薰樓創辦人/總裁 林振廷
作品描繪家中的牌樓，因為藝術就是傳承，將較古老的文物畫進畫布，激起人的思古之意。A.R.T.展場相當熱鬧，人非常多，藝博會越辦越好。
財團法人食品工業發展研究所董事長 謝忠弼
在圓圈中間畫一點，以日日是好日為創作主題，也代表圓滿。雖然我不是畫家，但為了做慈善，盡能力畫出最好的作品，連續三屆都參加了百大名人活動。也想來A.R.T.收藏作品，但不是從投資的角度，純粹因為喜歡才購買。
天來基金會執行長 劉詩亮
很有意義，很高興有機會參加百大名人活動。靈光一閃，大約兩個多鐘頭就完成作品。
陽光基金會董事長 馬海霞
我不會唱歌也不會畫畫，可是在生命中處處看到感動，畫的是充滿陽光的景象。想傳遞我們也許會碰到困境，但一轉念就處處是陽光，生命中和這個社會也處處充滿陽光。第一次到A.R.T，覺得很驚艷，毎一幅畫都好美！
國賓飯店暨士林電機董事長夫人 郭敦瑜
藝術家本人都在現場，很特別。畫家來得比去年多，台灣藝術家也變多了，更有國際性，很好。來的人很多，很成功。
監察院副院長 陳進利
此次用壓克力做畫，以水墨畫的技法勾勒出台灣最高的玉山，並以數字117標記兩位台灣之光，1代表林書豪的扣籃，17代表曾雅妮的揮桿，他們的故事讓我很感動，而有了創作的構想，並以有妮真豪的雙關語向他們致敬。
中華民國織品服飾設計師協會理事長 潘黛麗
朋友製作的甜甜圈為主題，用勾針勾出金色的甜甜圈，再加上水鑽與金粉做裝飾，並以蝴蝶結表現出較可愛的感覺，表現出年長時，只要心懷感恩與善良的心，就能想起小時候的童心。今年A.R.T.展館較去年寬敞，整體狀況也比往年更好，我三屆都有來到現場，覺得每一屆都比往年更進步。
宗亞資訊董事長 李舜得
百大作品以自然景色為主題，很開心能參加。
2011-2012國際扶輪第3480區台北金龍扶輪社社長 蕭培聖
本身學建築，臨摹吳冠中的畫。第一次參加百大名人活動，非常有意義，這種不限媒材、隨意創作的方式蠻有趣的。
台灣富綢纖維公司副總經理 莊燿銘
以電腦繪圖紫斑蝶，是台灣特有品種。結合台北美麗的都巿夕陽景色，在城巿上方自由遨翔輕鬆自在。第一次參加百大名人活動，很有意義。去年來看就很有興趣，藝術創作不限媒材，很有趣。
廣達香肉醬董事長 廖大明
很支持百大名人活動，很高興能參加。從來沒有畫過畫，想到慈濟上人的一段話：有人寫福字，多點了一點，師父勸他不要把它揉掉，福多一點，很多啊！於是從這裡發想，在蘋果上寫安，題上「平安就是福」。
台灣檳榔防制暨口腔癌防治聯盟主席、台大名譽教授、齒學博士 韓良俊
毋忘赤心，是這次創作的主題，以孫女天真無邪的照片配上題字。希望看到照片和字，可以讓大家回想到當初的赤子之心。活動構想適度搔到人們的虛榮心，但為了慈善，不傷大雅。
和合集團總裁 李世揚
難得的機會，也愛好藝術，於是將心中的感想用書法寫出來，寫的是星雲大師寫過的「應世無畏」，在挫折沮喪時要有積極的態度，從內心把挫折沮喪去除掉。去年第一次來看，A.R.T.活動真的辦得很好，把各個專業領域的代表找來，把生命中的感想分享給大家，提供一個創作平台，觀者也可以從各種不同角度觀賞。
TOM集團台灣營運中心總經理兼財務長 龔汝沁
百大名人作品上面是我小時候拿到的錢，是我真的收藏的東西，單純希望別人做公益捐贈，拿到作品時能夠有價值。這個活動很好，希望小的錢集合起來，能創造更大的價值。
台北市大千典精品質借機構執行長 秦嗣林
創作靈感來自蘇軾的一首詞「定風波」。這首詞也是我的座右銘，我認為人要樂觀和達觀。
醫學美容名醫 詹育彰
我不是很會畫畫，就思考在方寸之間能玩出什麼，構思很久，決定用石膏玩玩看，過程非常開心，是很好的經驗。第一次參加百大活動，非常有意義，非常榮幸主辦單位給我動手玩的機會。
民主進步黨主席蘇貞昌夫人 詹秀齡
我平常也在畫畫，畫的是秋天的景緻，畫好之後自己也很喜歡，很想自己珍藏，但能捨才有福。
百霏有限公司負責人 林瑩
花了很長的時間構思，作品主要想表達沉著的感覺，希望看到的人內心都能沉澱下來，讓心靈獲得安穩與平靜。
感恩基金會執行長 吳龍三
將畫面中的石榴畫得比綠繡眼略大，能飽食一頓，鳥應該會有很幸福的感覺，希望看到作品的人也是。平日以粉蠟筆與水彩做畫，特地跟朋友借了油畫工作室，嘗試人生的第一張油畫。百大名人活動十分有意義，也提供精進自己畫藝的動力。
巴克萊資本公司理事 葉昌明
本身很喜歡玫瑰，家中也有栽種，便以此為題創作。A.R.T.規劃不錯，人潮很多。
飛高達整合行銷總監 王雅麗
一沙一世界、一木一天堂，因畫布尺寸小，將海底的水母放大繪於畫布，並特別注意細節與光影的變化，水母放大後美麗的線條，就如同由細微處能看見上帝造物之美。整個展場非常有氣勢，一入場見到的飛碟造型相當吸引人，很有未來感，彷彿這些藝術家在創造未來性。每年都有來參觀A.R.T.，今年的作品內容更加豐富，我非常喜歡。
陽光社會福利基金會執行長 舒靜嫻
以「陽光」為創作主題，訴求溫暖跟希望能散播到社會每個角落，營造友善的環境，大力支持尊重顏面損傷朋友的重建。陽光基金會能成為百大活動受贈單位，非常感動也非常榮幸，這個活動是美善的推廣，更鼓勵年輕創作者有機會展現創意。
演藝人員 Selina
以塑膠和矽膠創作，在作品背後寫下創作心情：矽膠和塑膠是我現在身上的傷痕，但這些疤痕卻掩蓋不住我心中滿滿的愛。
名主持人 黃子佼
今年用麻將創作一幅有福氣的作品。以「一路發」的好運寓意，希望做好事、買到這幅作品的人也能一路發！
演藝人員 品冠
不擅於繪畫，所以回歸本行，將自己的經典創作歌曲「疼妳的責任」寫在畫布上，並譜上簡譜，呈現當初創作這首歌的場景，歌詞中疼惜的意味與慈善義賣活動的主題相當契合，也在畫布周邊加上紅粉色的外框，表達愛心的感覺。A.R.T.規劃非常好，有這樣的機會提供大家接觸藝術很棒。
女子職業五段棋士 黑嘉嘉
之前看到一張打開就能彈出氣球的卡片，給了我靈感，就買了類似的材料，試了三次才完成作品，嘗試的過程很有趣。A.R.T.人很多、很熱鬧，很多作品很漂亮，有的寫實得像一張照片，非常佩服畫家的畫藝。
服裝設計師 張伊萍
第一次為活動作畫，我本來就擅長針筆及素描，一天就完成作品，但構思很久，畫布愈小愈不容易處理。去年曾來參觀，認同慈善的目的，所以今年應邀參與，傳達「想像力可以把你帶到任何地方」的訊息。今年的A.R.T.進步很多，無論場地規劃或作品的細緻度都有提升。
台灣著名現代詩人 管管
很喜歡青蛙，並發展為自創的符號，百大作品就是畫青蛙在荷葉上玩特技，呈現喜歡玩創意的童心童趣。連續三屆都參加百大活動，這個活動太棒了，李先生把藝術如此推廣出去，炒熱了藝術，讓藝術往前邁進一大步，很難得。每一屆A.R.T.會都很新鮮，每年都變的這個方向是正確的。
財團法人環境與發展基金會董事長 柴松林
百大名人的作品是自畫像。這個活動有幾大意義，一鼓勵不是畫家的人也可以表現自己，二可以讓更多人透過呈現自己，去幫助需要幫助的人，三鼓勵更多不是畫家的人，也能用繪畫呈現內心世界。希望這個活動能一直辦下去。A.R.T.也非常好，出現很多年輕藝術家，改變台灣在國際上以為只有老畫家的印象，可以拓展視野又可以交流，對藝術的發展很有貢獻。
台灣大哥大公共事務處長暨發言人 阮淑祥
我喜歡風景，大自然中的山水花草，採用攝影作品但以油畫輸出的方式創作，有穿越古今的高遠意境。找了兩家輸出公司才滿意，花了一番功夫完成作品。
這個活動很有意義，人人都可以創作，不斷創作可以提升自己的藝術涵養。對民眾而言，看到這些人這麼忙，還可以創作，會受到影響，大家一起來創作，把美的瞬間凝結成永恆。
中華民國室內設計裝修商會理事長 康文昌
A.R.T.格調做得很高，空間很舒服。我們正在世貿一館做建築材料展，有一些工具型的東西和材料，不如A.R.T.這般文人雅士，這裡的展出是軟裝潢，希望未來可以一起合作，共同展出。
演藝人員 林美照
以台灣的藝術文化為創作主題，觀眾對我的印象一直是古裝，所以用髮髻、髮簪和黑色底進行創作。第一次為活動作畫，很有意思很喜悅。A.R.T.很讚，一進門就感受到非常開心的磁場，讓我打從心底一直想笑，感覺非常溫暖。
陽光基金會董事 陳永隆
以順心如意為創作主題，希望大家都平安、如意。沒想到台北會有規模這麼盛大的國際級活動，更沒想到國際級的藝博會會關注顏面傷殘的朋友，非常感激和感動，對A.R.T.主辦單位很敬佩。
台灣大哥大公共事務處 林意茹
作品很不錯，整個展場空間也很舒適，希望再找時間進一步慢慢欣賞作品。
世界知名心臟外科權威 魏崢
將自己於2006年所設計研發的「主動脈夾層瘤之人工血管接環(Vascular Ring Connector) 」親自手繪在畫布上，這項發明曾獲得美國葯物食品管制局(FDA)及中華民國衛生署核可上市，大幅提高主動脈狹層瘤手術之成功率，相當有紀念意義。
製筆工藝家 陳耀文
連續參加三屆百大名人活動，都特別製作符合畫布規格的毛筆、全球獨一無二。作品不僅是藝術品，更是收藏品。
普羅藝術家樂團指揮 廖嘉弘
在維也納薩爾斯堡演奏時，曾有人把我的側面做成剪紙，希望我的照片也能表現出剪紙藝術的效果。照片是去年到克羅埃西亞的國家公園16湖區旅行時拍的，取景綠樹掩映的湖面，希望觀者可以慢慢品味，也希望畫面能呈現出剪紙藝術的細膩感及風格。
演藝人員 楊燕
A.R.T.的作品都很精湛，很有思維，創作力很高，許多新派的作品讓我大開眼界。我本身畫寫實油畫，也畫國畫，這次沒參加百大名人活動有些遺憾。
演藝人員 小蝦
身為藝人，很少有機會參加文化活動。對台北新藝術博覽會的總體印象是百花齊放，來這裡對自己的心靈有很大的助益。本次師兄黃子佼和同學張心禹都有參展，藉此機緣來參觀，同時支持台灣藝術家。
職業作家、心理諮商師 安格斯
目前正進入春暖花開的季節，所以用花當主題，並使用暖色系的顏料，希望能給人溫暖的感覺。今年A.R.T.規模比往年更盛大，動線也規劃得更順暢，作品也較往年更好。
演藝人員 楊懷民
人潮很多，是個好現象。身為演員，創作很重要，百大名人創作不拘形式，給我很多啟發，原來每個人都是藝術家，只要發揮想像，就可以讓生活更豐富，很樂意參加明年的百大活動！
凱渥名模 花花（張嘉雲）
第一次參加百大名人創作，創作的靈感來源是去年端午節所撿到的貓，顏料則有指甲油、奇異筆及鉛筆。這次能參加，感到十分開心。
香港油畫研究會會長 梁君令
因為相信頭上三尺有神明，為善最是重要，所以畫了佛來表達。來到A.R.T.頗震撼，整個現場比想像中更亮，更盛大。
排灣族畫家 馬郁芳
因為今年是蛇年，便畫了雙蛇，並以排灣族的蛇圖騰樣式呈現。
資深彩妝造型裸妝大師 羅之遠
將服裝設計縮到一小幅畫作中，選用較有光澤的布料製作出一件小洋裝，讓觀者從各角度看會有不同的光影變化。因在畫布上不能縫紉，要拉出衣服的中線與各剪裁需要的曲線不容易，得一一用手小心捏整黏貼。今年A.R.T.的展場看起來相當舒服，動線規劃也很清楚，感覺十分好。
演藝人員 任明廷(任爸)
本身喜歡山水，也喜歡騎車，平日若有不如意的事，就騎車去看山水，就會覺得自己的煩惱很小。作品中特意用平常不會穿著的鮮紅色描繪騎士的裝扮，鼓勵大家向前走，忘卻人生的困頓挫折。A.R.T.太棒了，很高興有這樣的機會親近藝術、培養人文氣質。慈善義賣的立意很好很有意義，未來非常樂意再參與。
服裝設計師 胡雅娟
把畫布拆下來，將四圈不同顏色的毛線縫在畫布上，代表地水火風，用有形的形體表示四大皆空的概念。A.R.T.還是很年輕的藝博會，規模卻十分盛大，除了作品本身極好，展場設計很多切入點都相當有想法與創意，令我非常驚豔。
室內設計師 高弘樹
作品表達人工與自然統一，以亮橘色為底色，使用天然的大理石為素材，卻用人工的方式排列，呈現人神合一的概念。A.R.T.展場的設計很厲害，提供藝術家有展現自己作品的機會，是很棒的概念。
服裝設計師 蔣文慈
自己是服裝設計師，便用簡單的方式將衣服呈現於畫布上，各種顏色的衣服相疊會有不同的色彩表現，增添畫面的豐富性，另加入水鑽、小花等其它服裝元素，並繪出縫線痕跡呈現手工感。A.R.T.能邀請這麼多名人來共同響應相當不易，將藝術與慈善結合的概念也很棒，展場的藝術品很好，整個藝博會都很棒。
知名泌尿科醫生 王祚軒
作品以兩種方式表達人看見光影的方式，一種是從山洞往外走時，一種是躺著往上仰望時。百大名人的活動很好很有意義，A.R.T.的人氣比我想像中熱鬧許多，令我十分吃驚。
魔術大師 粘立人
作品畫的是孔雀開屏，白色的孔雀代表純潔，黑色底色代表人可能遭逢的挫折，五顏六色的羽毛代表人從逆境中積極找到光明。百大名人活動集結來自不同領域的名人，可能因此啟發他們對繪畫的興趣。A.R.T.的作品琳瑯滿目，來參觀的人也很多，這麼多人齊來響應，令我十分感動。
陶瓷藝術家 劉武
用自己最擅長的陶瓷創作，以青花瓷的技法去繪製花紋，並自行燒製大小適中的瓷板貼在畫布上，讓中間裂開呈現青花瓷的感覺。
R.A.Y. Band 雷樂隊鼓手 黃顯忠
101大樓已經是台灣代表性的指標，新的一年有煙火秀慶祝新開始，這每年第一時間的慶祝煙火意義重大，看到的人都很有福氣。很榮幸能參加這次活動，剛好101就在A.R.T.展館旁邊，和自己的作品相呼應，非常開心，展場的作品都很棒。
藝術家 郭禹君
我的百大名人作品屬於膠彩創作，用動物膠及礦物顏料當媒介，畫作會顯得特別沉穩並帶有雅緻感，但相當費工。第一次參加A.R.T.，心情期待又喜樂，覺得A.R.T.很宏觀，藝術家可直接面對群眾，不受畫廊拘束，更能充份表達自我。
北臺北家扶中心主任委員 吳戴美玉
我本身在家扶中心工作，希望大家能本著我作品上寫的精神──「幼吾幼以及人之幼、老吾老以及人之老」，去幫助需要幫助的人。這次包括先生吳伯雄和兒子桃園縣長吳志揚，一起參加了百大名人活動。
博儒生命原力中心總監 鄭博仁
以「愛心」為創作主題，透過百大名人活動，讓心散發光彩且回歸自然，因此畫了藍天和綠地。第一次參加也第一次為活動作畫，很開心很有趣很有意義。
藝術家 張文暐
百大作品以桃花為題材，用臘染的方式作畫，畫中背景是台灣的淨土──花蓮，希望大家能從中找到幸福。第一次來參觀A.R.T.，看到很多新媒材新創作，跳脫傳統相當多元。
演藝人員 張心妍
創作主題為和平與愛。生完小孩後，很多東西轉變得不一樣，原本最不喜歡粉紅色，這次卻畫出粉紅色的小熊拿著愛心氣球。第一次參加百大活動，沒有學過畫，有點興奮又有點緊張，但因為是慈善，盡心就好。
畫家 陳韻璇
主題為天山，代表藝術的殿堂，寛濶無比、包羅萬象、涵天蓋地，位在天和大地之間，全部涵蓋在藝術的領域。以畫載道、闡述藝術無所不在、無時不在、無處不在，跨越過去現在未來。
演藝人員 東明相
畫面為大樹長滿果實，色彩鮮艷傳達溫暖，將熱情分享給大家，朋友說我的畫充滿正面的力量。今年的A.R.T.特別好，作品比去年豐富佷多，創作更多元化，特別po網要朋友快來參觀。
音樂家 施綺年
以美為出發點，花是自然界的美和愛的象徵，很榮幸參加，活動辦得很好，招待各方面都很好
知名占星學家 星星王子
以十二星座為主題，選擇各星座的開運石，勾勒星座的象徵符號。又想到陽中有陰，陰中有陽，所以創作兩幅，一幅代表陽，白色為底黑色作框線，白色是硨磲，黑色是碧璽；一幅代表陰，黑色為底白色作框線，黑色是黑瑪瑙，白色是白水晶。雖然付出的心力超過所售的價值，但希望能拋磚引玉，很高興有機會參加。
演藝人員 李佩甄
我畫的彩虹，七個顏色是先調好色，然後一筆刷一氣呵成。是在家跟小朋友玩了一個小時才想到要畫彩虹，希望傳遞一個正面的能量，困境（下雨）之後才會有彩虹出現，不要害怕挫折、失敗。因為是慈善公益活動，所以很樂意參加。
資深廣播人 石元娜
畫的是百合花，色彩鮮豔，希望每個人的心都像百合花一樣，芬芳又優雅。這個活動很有意義，很願意奉獻我的愛，希望將愛心傳遞出去。」
模特兒 王曉書
這屆A.R.T.畫作水準比較高，都是不一樣的風格，畫法筆觸比較細膩，可以多參加提升自己的藝術氣質。欣賞的畫作都會用手機拍下來，有劉寶軍、商少真、非洲王子及荷蘭Peter的作品。
中華平面設計協會理事長 楊佳璋
畫的是印度女神USHAS的圖騰，她掌管時尚、流行與藝術。用類似點描法，以單色的方式表現出不同材質的質感。
知名企業培訓講師 徐培剛
黃色代表快樂，愛是紅色，藍色代表希望，綠色代表分享，剛好組成幸運草的顏色。想傳遞希望就是快樂、分享及愛，想表達的是每個奉獻愛心的人都是天使。
The challege presented by the 3rd edition of Art Revolution Taipei does not stop at asking the attending artists to be extremely selective about their works, it in fact continues to push the artists to strive for greater perfection, to lift to a higher level. Artists not only are asked to refine their works, they need to be versatile, innovative, and creative, and they need to transcend the limits they set for themselves.
“It’s not like I enjoy pushing the artists or anything,” I gave a forced smile at the directors’ meeting, “it’s just that I feel there’s no other way if we want the guests who come to A.R.T. every year find their visit worthwhile.” I’m pleasantly surprised to see, however, that within only 40 days after the “unofficial” application for the Taiwan Section began, we saw not only the booth space reserved for the Taiwan Section fully booked, a portion of what’s originally designed for the International Section has now to be reallocated to accommodate the spillovers. How remarkable these artists are as they demonstrate their talents in an entirely new fashion as evidenced in their works of “transformation.”
All beings’ lives would come to an end once they become ossified. To keep on creating something new and innovating is to prove our existence worthwhile. We see the hope of the art community in Taiwan amid our demanding request of the artists - - our artists are so talented they were just never given the opportunity to prove themselves.
There’s an entirely new presentation strategy behind the A.R.T. 2013 - - keeping our composure and getting ready for the stunning admiration. To our artists, your works shows that Taiwan’s art is definitely good enough to challenge the world scene!
What’s it like being grateful? When you have so many great artists from all around the world swarming in to apply for A.R.T. 2013 due to the huge success of the previous two editions of A.R.T., that’s how grateful you are.
What does “keeping our composure” really mean? That’s when you have a name list, a pair of aces, and a great deal of fine artworks in your pocket, and you light up a cigar acting cool.
And what do we really mean by “getting ready for the stunning admiration?” Well…, would you like me to reveal a little bit of that? “Cheer and drink with Emperor Kangxi” will most definitely shock you! Besides, we are already ready.
Lee Sun-Don, the Art Director of the third edition of A.R.T. (A.R.T. 2013), has something to say: "Without knowing why, the second edition of A.R.T., A.R.T. 2012, has achieved an artist hit rate of 91.18% (meaning 91.18% of the attending artists had sold their works). We are now pulling back the target for A.R.T. 2013 -- we'll be happy with just 70% hit rate! People usually set their targets upwards, but we art people like to think backwards and don't want to tangle with the numbers, which would be very unartistic."
A.R.T. 2013 will dedicate 20% of the entire show space to an exhibition emphasized more on academic, experimental and avant-garde works。There's Damien Hirst in the UK, Philippe Pasqua in France, Jeff Koons in the US, Takashi Murakami in Japan, and ....in Taiwan? We welcome those who have the guts to come and join us, and together we'll be at the forefont of waging a wave of a new genre of art!
Art Revolution Taipei (A.R.T.) 2012 was honored the Silver Award of “Exhibition Visual Design of the Year” organized by Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs R.O.C. It was commended for its strong visual impact and characteristic color coordination, which match perfectly with the exhibition theme and speak powerfully to the concept and spirit of the exhibition.
