A Research On Creative Market In Communities Based On The Perspective Of Community Curators

In recent years,the topic and practice of bringing art into communities has become very popular,and there have been many ways of presenting it.However,it is not suitable to simply transplant traditional forms of artistic expression into communities.What communities and residents need is not just simple presentation of artworks,but rather forms of art that are more closely related to their lives.Creative market events are a good way to bring art closer to the lives of residents.They represent popular art and can also facilitate communication between people from different backgrounds,thereby promoting social connections.This study is based on the concept proposed by Professor Wang Nanming of combining social work and art.When conducting art activities in the community,the author constantly uses the methods of social work and artistic design to design services.From the perspective of a community curators,the author discovered that there are currently problems with cultural activities and a lack of sense of belonging among young people in the community.Therefore,the author planned and implemented three phases of community creative market events to address these issues.Chapter One introduces the background of the community creative market,conveys several key concepts in this study,explores the significance of community curators in planning community creative markets,and indicates the research methods used in this study.Chapter Two analyzes two cases of community creative markets in the province and beyond through research,and explores the skills needed by community curators and the key and difficult points of community creative markets from the perspectives of community attributes,market creativity composition,planner work,and market planning performance.Chapter Three conducts background research on the author’s own community,Jimei Dashe,including its community profile and context,and a review of past creative market events.The author conducted a questionnaire and interviews with the target population as a community curators.The results of the research laid the foundation for the practical activities in Chapter Four.Chapter Four plans three phases of community creative market events based on the data obtained from the above research,and with the support and approval of the community street office,connects community residents and market volunteers to publish market information and implement activities through their own social networks,We Chat,and studio self-media channels.Based on the feedback from community residents and self-evaluation by the community curators,it was found that the community creative market planned and implemented from a community curators’ s perspective is beneficial in addressing the lack of cultural activities and sense of belonging among young people in the community.By participating in the community creative market,residents’ social and spiritual needs were partially satisfied,and the cultural atmosphere of the community was effectively improved,fostering a sense of ownership among community residents and encouraging them to participate in and even organize community activities.
