International Bonsai Art & Culture Biennale, October 18–21, 2014

Indonesia By Robert Steven, General Secretary

We are organizing a colossal bonsai event called
“International Bonsai Art & Culture Biennale” on the
theme: When Art and Culture Meet Through Bon-
sai, in Yogyakarta, an old historical/cultural city in
central Java, Indonesia, renowned as the centre of
classical Javanese fine art and culture. This event is
jointly organized by Forum Hobby Indonesia (FHI)
and Indonesia Bonsai Art Club Association (Aksi-
sain), supported by Keraton King Palace of Yogya-
karta, Vredeburg Fortress Museum and Culture &
Tourism of Yogyakarta.
This is the first bonsai exhibition to present a new
concept that accommodates creativity and innova-
tion, to bring together bonsai art and other art forms,
because we believe art is a living thing and has no
limit in conveying messages of the creator. We hope
this will open a new perspective to the bonsai word,
and bring more fun to bonsai art. Yet, of course you
will also witness many conventional displays.
The exhibition venue will be in an old historical
Dutch fortress, the Vredeburg Fortress Museum. The
International Culture Night will be hosted by our Yog-
ya Sultan in the Keraton Palace. All are within walking
distance to the city center, Beringharjo Market Center,
