This paper explores the role of spatial sequences in art and design in promoting sustainable rural development and further expands on the concept of "rural tourism exhibition space sequence." It is based on the theme of sustainable rural tourism, utilizing the natural and cultural landscapes of rural areas, and has emerged as an important form of tourism in response to the accelerating urbanization and improving living standards. Rural tourism has become an essential way for urban residents to relax and experience rural life. The study delves into the evolutionary process and spatial sequence characteristics of rural tourism spaces, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for the development of spatial sequences in rural tourism. The main purpose of this research is to explore how spatial sequences in art design can contribute to the sustainable development of rural areas. The study aims to offer theoretical guidance for the development of spatial sequences in rural tourism, thereby promoting the sustainable growth of the rural tourism industry, enhancing the cultural and economic value of rural areas, and meeting the leisure and experiential needs of urban residents seeking rural experiences. The research method employed in this study will involve a combination of literature review and field research. The research findings demonstrate that spatial sequences in art and design play a crucial role in promoting sustainable development in rural areas. By incorporating spatial sequences in rural tourism, the attractiveness and cultural significance of rural areas can be effectively enhanced, attracting more tourists and investments, and driving the development of the rural tourism industry. The evolutionary process of spatial sequences in rural tourism exhibition spaces exhibits diversity and complexity, with variations in layout and design based on regional characteristics. This emphasizes the need for customized planning and design to achieve optimal sustainable development outcomes. The research results provide important theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the development of spatial sequences in rural tourism, which in turn contributes to the economic prosperity and preservation of cultural heritage in rural areas.
