Abstract
Nowadays, the gap between arts and everyday lives is narrowing. When it comes to the arts, everything goes. But what makes good community arts? What are the aesthetic standards? How can we assess it? How can it be developed? Community arts is believed to possess the positive power to unite people and inspire them to reflect on social issues as well as to seek out more democratic ways to attain happiness. All these acts of joyous resistance do not only change the society, but they can also be considered as an aesthetics of community arts: an aesthetics of the pursuit of democracy, justice, equality, fraternity and freedom.
