BOT continues to organize a series of arts festival activities, with the objective of fostering and inspiring more artistic creations in Taiwan by providing a communication platform. The collaboration between finance and arts has been internalized as the DNA of BOT. Through rigorous selection processes and assistance from expert, renowned artists and scholars in Taiwan, the art festival intends to explore potential young artists. Through organizing competitions and exhibiting award-winning works, BOT aims to improve the visibility of excellent artists, promote the arts industry of Taiwan, and cultivate local artists with international vision. BOT has held painting, photography, and calligraphy sessions, with award-winning works being exhibited in Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua, Chiayi, Tainan, Kaohsiung, Hualien, and Shalu, with more than 36,184 people participating in exhibitions. Works are edited, published, and distributed to winning artists, members of the selection committee, distinguished guests, and important customers, as well as sent to the National Central Library for permanent collection.

Painting Competition

Artists expressed their personal emotions with paintbrushes and passed on their awareness and concept with paintings. BOT provides an exclusive communication platform for young artists, and aims to improve the standards of artistic creations in Taiwan. In 2023, BOT continually organized the Painting Season submission competition without any restrictions on theme. Participants were required to use oil paints, watercolors, acrylics, or print only. In this year's activity, 172 artists participated and shared a total of 516 painting works. BOT expects to engage young people in artistic creations with diverse viewpoints, and specifically invited renowned artistic experts and scholars in Taiwan to serve as judges to promote art and ensure a rigorous selection process.

Photography Competition

Human eyes mark different scenarios in the brain to form memories, and beautiful memories can take many different forms. Images are the most easily readable form. Beautiful moments can be captured with a camera through aperture, shutter, and light sensitivity. BOT holds an annual photography competition with different themes. In 2023, the Photography Season competition focused on the theme of "Building a Sustainable Taiwan and Exploring New Art in Historical Sites". Through different lens angles, the participants explored the unique charm of historical sites and historical buildings in Taiwan, and witnessed the humanitarian development from an artistic perspective. Precious historical landmarks can be collected as a result, awakening a sense of preservation and inheritance of profound cultural assets. In 2023, more than 300 people shared 2,040 photography works in support of BOT's initiative for a vision of sustainability and beauty.

Calligraphy Competition

Among the languages of the world, Chinese is widely used, and the forms and meanings of Chinese words and phrases are as extensive and profound as Confucian culture. BOT is dedicated to promoting calligraphy, and held the Calligraphy Season competition in 2023 to select excellent calligraphy works and showcase the essence of Chinese culture and artistic accomplishment. Young calligraphy enthusiasts were invited to attend. The calligraphy focused on poems and famous quotes.

A total of 52 young calligraphy contenders shared 104 calligraph works, showcasing and promoting this art form for people to admire and feel the cultural connotation through each stroke of the brush in a digital society.

Music Promotion

BOT continues to pay attention to the promotion of music. To celebrate the commencement of work in 2023, the Year of the Rabbit, a classical string quartet played in the main business hall of the head office, marking the beginning of the year with classical music. The chairman led senior supervisors to welcome guests. They extended Chinese New Year greetings to customers and colleagues, and embraced the beautiful beginning of the Spring Festival. BOT also sponsored New Art Inc. to hold the Taipei Kuanyin-Line Psychological and Social Service Association Charity Concert at the National Concert Hall. The funds raised at the concert were donated to the Taipei Kuanyin-Line Psychological and Social Service Association for promoting public welfare services and sharing kindness through the power of music.

BOT also held "BOT Concert Chi Mei April" at Chi Mei Museum, Tainan, on April 15, 2023. The Christian Mountain Children's Home with the beautiful voice of nature, female vocalists with elegant melodies, and BOT's choir comprising the voices of financial specialists jointly presented the performance. Through music, we aimed to resonate with the public, engage in public welfare, and contribute warmth and positive energy to society.

To fulfill its corporate social responsibility, BOT collaborated with Franklin Templeton Investments to hold "Movement of Love and Sustainable Collection," a public welfare activity and investment and wealth management explanation session on December 7, 2023. The Bleinders Vocal Band was invited to lead the performance, passing on social positive energy with a charitable music feast and continually promoting the sustainable development goals of BOT.
