Sorry about that. I do recall in the past couple weeks some kind of art festival or something shown on TVRI news. Unfortunately I can not give you the details but if there are art festivals in various places, there must be some groups involved somehow. I would think the Universities would have information on groups or at least any festivals. The news media here really sucks by not announcing up coming events and only informing people after they take place. I know Bali has a larger art interest and if you could find one person involved, they may be able to lead you to others in different places.Today is May 7th, exactly 6 months from my original post regarding Fine Arts groups/orgs in Jawa Barat.
I'd like to report back on the responses sent/given to me from the various museums, galleries, art teachers and schools in Indonesia that I contacted via email (using both Bahasa Indo & English language) and/or phone messages.
Number of responses: ZERO
You sould have asked for noodle shops. You would be buried with replies.Today is 4th December, more than 12 months from my original post regarding Fine Arts groups/orgs in Jawa Barat.

...did someone say "cultural wasteland"?
Man, everything aside, your dp is top-notch
Okay, here is where I show my age. What is dp?
untapped potential? really? Isn't it normal for an entire region with millions of people to lack even one art gallery or arts organization?One can always dream...
Sounds like a good idea to me!
If your search for art galleries has taught us anything, fine arts is not a big part of Indonesian art and culture. Much of Indonesian art is woven into all types of utensils and furniture. Batik clothes, detailed wood carvings in furniture, silver crafts or things and ornaments made from baked clay or other natural materials.well, only a few decades behind the rest of the world, but it's good to hear.
If someone can convince the Ulema councils and the local shock troops that maybe, JUST MAYBE, encouraging the fine arts instead of building a mosque every 100 metres will serve Indonesia's youth very well in the future.
This is all not correct. Indonesian fine art is probably the best in SEA, and easilly reching highest prices. Demand is also high for top pieces.
Brainwashing kids doesn't help !
Thank you for bringing this up! I spent almost twenty years, buying and selling fine art from Bali, and it was a wonderful experience. Learning about the materials, techniques, appreciating the talent. Supporting the Artist. Seeing the joy, that it brought to the people, that bought it from me, and knowing that this art, would be passed down generations to come and be enjoyed.
I was talking about your profile picture here on the forum.
Who is to decide what is indecent? Also who is to decide what is the right path? That is an individual decision for everyone to make independently!
Thank you. That is from my daughter's art work. She has a very unique style that seems have been influenced by lots of travel. She was introduced to many different styles.
