Private art galleries are popular in north
Taiwan, but less so in the south. Original Points Arts
Center is, perhaps, the start of a trend to promote visual
arts. Many efforts are being made at the government and
private-sector levels to advance the recognition of fine
arts. Original Points Arts Center is among the pioneer
establishments to feature art for art's sake--no aggressive
sales, no conversions for the art-minded or art-unacquainted.
The purpose of Original Points Arts Center is to provide
a place where people can physically see paintings. The
display changes every couple of months. Each set is accompanied
by a short description of the featured artist's previous
shows. Though the exterior view may be intimidating for
those wishing to enter, there is nothing that should
keep one from seeing what's inside. All paintings are
for sale.
