The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on global tourism. In response, the Bangsaen Gallery project was initiated in Saensuk Municipality, Chonburi Province, based on the concept that cultural capital, including artistic heritage and performing arts, was a valuable asset passed down through generations. This cultural wealth had the potential to generate substantial national revenue. The Bangsaen Gallery project aimed to make art museums and galleries more accessible to the public and to promote artistic and cultural activities that could drive social engagement and creative community spaces. The Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, in collaboration with its network of partners in art, culture, and design, organised the 4th Bangsaen Gallery 2025. This fourth edition, held in 2025, sought to promote local traditions and cultural heritage while serving as a bridge connecting artistic narratives with the community through the perspectives of artists. The project also expanded creative community networks, linking government agencies, private sector businesses, entrepreneurs, artists, creatives, and cultural professionals, spanning from the local level in Chonburi to the national and international arenas. Additionally, it fostered new and diverse tourism trends by establishing annual cultural events and artificial attractions that enhanced the tourism sector. This initiative not only revitalised the community’s spirit but also strengthened the creative industry within the framework of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), contributing to national economic growth. The project ultimately aligned with the Creative Economy policy, supporting artists and creatives in presenting contemporary art and culture alongside the unique cultural context of the city.
