十方文創研究平台｜DAC Culture Creation and Research Platform (DCCR)：

十方創研平台從2015年開始構建至今，已有5年時間。建立之初，本平台就由重慶市九龍坡區文旅委推薦，成為九龍坡區科委授牌的文化類眾創空間。十方創研平台目前已合作了60余位藝術家及設計師，支持28個獨立品牌創業，有成功，也有失敗。創研平台歷經初期實驗、機制完善、產業模式創新發展3個階段，其間伴隨著工坊負責人個人及團隊成長，創業公司品牌從無到有，目前本平台逐漸成為一個文創領域高精人才聚集的學術研究和產業共促發展的生態園。

DAC Culture Creation and Research Platform (DCCR) have been gradually developed for the past five years since 2015. At the beginning of its establishment, this platform was recommended and praised by the Culture and Tourism Commission of the Jiulongpo District of Chongqing City, and awarded by the Science and Technology Commission of the Jiulongpo District for its contributions for providing a cultural and creative center for the public. DCCR has so far cooperated with more than 60 artists and designers and has supported 28 independent brands to start their businesses. DCCR have gone through three stages of the initial experimental, model improvement, innovative development, accompanied by the growth of each studio leader’s individual and team, and the time when the brand of the startup company was born from scratch. This platform has gradually become a public space for academic research and industrial development of talents in the cultural and creative field.

1. 創研平台社群構建及運行機制｜DCCR Community Cultivation & Operating framework：

十方創研平台設立初衷，是十方藝術中心基於學術研究機構的身份，以社會現場的時代特性為依據，所導出的對於「民間藝術文化研究團體 / 創新人才的支持和孵化平台」。十方提供研究空間與學術支持，為這些處於初期起步階段的群體提供良好的發展條件，營造專業的學術氛圍，進而助力其實現價值，導出符合時代訴求的研究成果及產品，獲得專業和市場的價值認可。創業工坊入駐創研平台，並非一直固定不變，為保持平台的鮮活和持續生長性，我們逐漸形成合理的進出機制，把機會留給最適合且有需求的創業團隊。創研平台發展幾年間，十方為工坊提供工作空間、少量發展金支持，協助創業者完成工商註冊、品牌建立、搭建運營團隊、產品研發等工作支持。除以上支持內容外，十方也會介紹市場業務渠道給初建的工坊，使其建立發展信心，後續主要由工坊獨立運營，並與十方保持文創生態資源互促的發展方式。

通過創研平台，十方試圖構建一種第三方藝術機構與民間獨立研究群體之間的互補共生的協作方式，補足我國現存藝術文化生態結構的短板。在真正幫助創研團隊建立良性發展方式的同時，實現十方作為第三方公益藝術機構的社會責任。我們也希望受助的創業者能反哺平台，形成一種良性的文創產業發展循環機制。

The original intention of the DAC Culture Creation and Research Platform (DCCR) is that DAC is based on the experiment of an academic research institution and suit its characteristics of the times in society, which is derived from the “Folk Art Culture Research Group/Creation Talent Support and Incubation Platform.” DAC provides research space and academic support, provides the right development environment for these groups in the initial start-up, creates a professional academic atmosphere, and then helps them realize value, derives research results and products that meet social development. To maintain the platform’s freshness and continuous growth, we have gradually formed reasonable entry and exit standards, giving opportunities to the most suitable and demanding needs. For several years, DAC provided workspace and financial support for the applicant studios and assisted entrepreneurs in completing industrial and commercial registration, branding, building operation teams, product development, and other work support. In addition to the above help, DAC also provides commercial cooperation resources to studios to build confidence in their development. The follow-up development will be mainly operated by the studio independently, and maintain the development mode of resource interoperability with DAC.

Through the platform, DAC attempts to build complementary and symbiotic cooperation between third-party art institutions and private independent research groups to complement the shortcomings of the existing ecological structure of art and culture in China. While truly helping applicant studios to establish a healthy development method, it also realizes the social responsibility of DAC as a third-party, public art institution. We hope that the assisted entrepreneurs can give back to this platform to form a benign cultural and creative industry development model.

2. 藝術與區域構建 - 創研工坊參與社區美育｜Art and Regional Contribution - Workshops & Community Aesthetic Education：

2019年，十方藝術中心受重慶市九龍坡區黃桷坪街道辦邀請，為黃桷坪社區居民提供美育服務。十方創研平台5家工坊參與，為黃桷坪郵電路、唐家灣、新市場等社區提供了15場居民美育課程。同時創研工坊與公益組織求至社工合作，共同設計完成了南岸區梨花路社區3場居民美育課程。以社區提高居民的審美素養，豐富業餘生活，為文創產業發展探索新的可能性為出發點，藝術家導師根據居民的基礎水平，原創設計課程，在持續半年的活動中，教與學，課程產品三方面都有所收穫，最重要的是，居民每次在短暫的課程中，確實感覺到身心愉悅，這也給授課藝術家很深的觸動，為藝術家和居民之間建立起一種深入溝通的可能性。

相較於專業的學院式藝術教育，社會美育的現場中，受制於各種現實條件，發展較為艱難。如社區經費不足，導致項目延續性不足；居民的需求不明確，參與相對被動，對於審美能力提高缺乏現實動力；缺乏具備教學能力的師資等。這些問題亟待各方在公共美育實踐中解決。

蔡元培先生在中國現代化之初提出，以美育代宗教，啓發國民民智。如今國人的物質生活水平相較百年之前已極大提高，而國人的審美能力，仍未有多少增長，反而在物欲橫流的世界中，精神更加空虛，缺乏依託。十方作為一家藝術類的社會公益組織，對於居民美育有著不可回避的社會責任。創研平台在社區開展的居民美育課程，開啓了十方深度參與社會美育的模式實踐。

In 2019, Dimensions Art Center was invited by the Huangjueping Sub-district Office of Jiulongpo District, Chongqing City, to launch aesthetic education to the Huangjueping community residents. Five workshops on the DAC Culture Creation and Research Platform (DCCR) participated and provided 15 residents’ aesthetic education courses for Huangjueping Youdian Street, Tangjiawan, Xinshichang, and other communities. Simultaneously, the DCCR Workshop and the charity organization Seeking to cooperate with social workers, jointly designed and completed 3 residents’ aesthetic education courses in Lihua Road Community, Nan’an District. They are taking the community to improve the residents’ aesthetic quality, enrich their lives, and explore new possibilities for developing the creative industry. The artist tutors designed initially courses based on the residents’ needs. In the activities that lasted for six months, teaching and learning, curriculum products There are gains in three aspects. The most important thing is that the residents feel physically and mentally happy every time they take a short course. This also touches the artist deeply and establishes an in-depth communication between the artist and the residents.

Compared with professional academic art education, social, aesthetic education is subject to various realistic conditions and development. For example, insufficient community funding leads to short project continuity. Their participation is relatively passive, and they lack the real motivation to improve their aesthetic; they lack tutors with teaching abilities. These problems urgently need to be resolved by all parties in the practice of public aesthetic education.

At the beginning of China’s modernization, Mr. Cai Yuanpei proposed to replace religion with aesthetic education and inspire people. Nowadays, the Chinese people’s material standard of life has been dramatically improved compared to a century ago, and the Chinese people’s aesthetic ability has not increased much. On the contrary, in the materialistic world, the spirit is more empty. As an art and social welfare organization, Dimensions Art Center has an unavoidable social responsibility for residents’ aesthetic education. The residents’ aesthetic education courses carried out by the DCCR platform in the community opened the practice of Dimensions Art Center’s deep participation in social, aesthetic education.
