Introduction of Organization (e.g., activities and objective):
The treasure hill artist village was mainly formed by a sprawl of illegal makeshift buildings built near the Treasure Hill Temple in the 1960's and 1970's. It once came close to being demolished, but was later preserved as an 'art-ivated' settlement and registered as a historic community. Its unique geographical location and historical background nurtured a distinctive phenomenon where art meets lift - a place where ecology, art and community blend and interact. The village's "Treasure Village," "Artist-in-Residence(AIR) Taipei" and Treasure Hill Traveler's Hostel: An "Attic" projects contribute to the rich diversity of the settlement.
