Abstract

This paper compares community art education in China and Thailand, exploring their development backgrounds, conceptual goals, practices, and challenges. China focuses on government-led initiatives to enhance citizens' artistic literacy, while Thailand emphasizes the preservation of local culture and community involvement. Both countries face issues such as uneven resource distribution and low social awareness. The study suggests learning from each other's successful experiences to improve the quality and societal impact of community art education.
