The purpose of “Pure View”:

• Let art serve as a bridge, enabling children in rural villages and young volunteers from metropolis to discover a different world through children’s pure view and see a better version of themselves.

• Inspire and cultivate children’s observational skills, teach them to uncover the beauty around daily life in the village that might have been overlooked, promote folk and traditional cultures, strengthen their expression and presentation abilities, attract the attention of more knowledgeable individuals to develop the villages, and reduce the number of left-behind children.

• Organize exhibitions for the children, broaden their horizons, inspire their creativity, boost their self-confidence, and make every child feel loved and cared for. The art exhibition not only acknowledges the children’s efforts but also encourage them to strive for improvement.

• Establish more connections between children and others and with nature, reducing feelings of loneliness, stress, and excessive modern entertainment. This way children can reflect on themselves while helping others and contribute to making the world a better place.
