NEW TAIPEI CITY, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In its inaugural showcase in New Taipei City on October 6th, the 2023 Taiwan Design Expo emerged as a groundbreaking event in the world of design and art. This prestigious expo, a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the New Taipei City Government, brought together an eclectic mix of hundreds of artists to craft five distinct exhibition areas. Capturing the unique essence of 29 administrative districts and their local industries, the 17-day expo drew an impressive crowd of 6.58 million visitors.
The theme for this year's edition, "O," is a symbolically rich choice, embodying versatility as both a verb and an adjective. This theme serves as a dynamic link, connecting various cities, cultures, and ethnic groups, and portraying the diverse tapestry of New Taipei. The expo's heart was at the New Taipei City Art Museum and various venues in Yingge District, where the main exhibition areas were strategically positioned. These included the Circular Line, Public Line, Echo Event, and City ReDesign. Each zone uniquely contributed to a cohesive narrative, celebrating the transformative charm and innovative spirit of New Taipei City's design ethos.
