Love Letter from Bali 2025
6–7 December 2025 | NuArt Sculpture Park, Bandung
NuArt Sculpture Park was born from Nyoman Nuarta’s vision to appreciate history, examine the present, and continuously contribute to the development and advancement of art and culture in Indonesia. With art–culture–nature as its core pillars, NuArt invites the public to learn, experience various artistic expressions, discover diverse cultures, and foster awareness of the importance of nature in human life.
Built on these three pillars, NuArt Sculpture Park initiates Love Letter from Bali, a cultural celebration created as a space to reconnect with the traditions, creativity, and values of Balinese life. This program offers an opportunity to experience how art and daily practices can bring cultural closeness in a warm, immersive, and inclusive form.
LOVE LETTER FROM BALINESE CULTURE IN BANDUNG
On 6–7 December 2025, NuArt Sculpture Park presents Love Letter from Bali, a two-day event celebrating the beauty of Balinese culture through performing arts, culinary experiences, workshops, and a creative market.
This year, NuArt will transform into a miniature Balinese landscape featuring penjor, gebogan decorations, and traditional visual elements, developed together with Jnana, an art collective from Ubud, Bali—NuArt’s creative partner in crafting visual narratives, performative elements, and most workshop programs.
The event centers on five main programs:
Traditional & Contemporary Art Performances
Hands-on Workshops & Traditional Games
Yoga with Selonding Soundscape
Artisan Market with Balinese Delicacies
Balinese Décor Installation, Talkshow & Community Sessions
