關渡自然公園自2006年起舉辦關渡國際自然裝置藝術季，是臺灣首次有大型自然藝術活動在以保育為出發點的自然公園舉辦。每年邀請多位國際藝術家，利用自然素材現地創作出能展現藝術美感、傳遞環境關懷的戶外裝置作品。創作過程重視公眾參與，透過對話與合作融入在地精神。活動紮根於深具生態保育價值與豐富河口文化的關渡濕地，打造人與藝術、自然的對話空間，探討「人與自然的關係」這門重要課題，期望能為現代社會與自然相處的失衡狀態找回平衡點。
走過十年，這場藝術行動為關渡自然公園描繪了一幅河口文化、濕地保育與環境藝術共生的藍圖，自2016年開始以「關渡國際自然藝術季」為名，藉著十年累積的經驗與感動，進一步落實、深化對地方的了解與關懷，期望參與其中的每個人，能更主動積極地去重建自己與環境的關係，受自然啟發，共同為未來生命的永續找到方向。
Guandu International Outdoor Sculpture
Festival, dating back to 2006, was Taiwan's first large-scale natural art event held in a conservation park. The park is located in Guandu wetland, a place with unique estuary culture and diverse ecosystem. The festival takes place annually and invites artists all over the world to create site-specific outdoor installations by using natural materials. The purpose of this event is not only about art and aesthetics but also about delivering messages caring for the environment. Through communication and cooperation with local communities and volunteers, artists are able to learn from local wisdom and try to blend in the local culture in their works. With the experience in the past ten years, this art event has come to a new stage by resetting its title into “Guandu International Nature Art Festival “since 2016. The triangle composed of river culture, wetland conservation, and environmental art is still the solid foundation of the curatorial concepts. Guandu International Nature Art Festival is expected to serve as a catalyst to deepen the public’s awareness of our environment, as well as care for local cultures. It is hoped that every single participant of this festival will take the initiative to connect with their surroundings, to get inspired by nature, and to make an effort in finding a way to a sustainable future.
