Why is JakArt@2001 happening?

To celebrate the beginning of the new millenium
To commemorate Jakarta's Anniversary
Excellent opportunity to improve Indonesia's currently low image internationally

As the world moves to the post-industrial age, by staging a coordinated large-scale event like this, JakArt@2001 can demonstrate that significant benefits can be gained from development and promotion of the arts. By bringing the various disciplines of the arts into a big forum, we can collectively and actively work together to change the status quo, and to show positive proof of improvement in the areas of:

• Economic conditions
• Young talent
• Media exposure & impact
• Increased awareness
• Wider audience bases & participation
• Bonding and networking
• Sponsor interest & support due to wider audience appeal
• Sponsor interest & support for arts education, funding, and freedom of expression
• Government support for arts, education, funding, and freedom of expression
• Practical applications of the arts in a variety of activities (e.g music therapy, product design & environmental awareness)
