 Inspired by the thoughts: “Tourism
should be for Bali instead of Bali for Tourism”, an
Indian- educated Balinese, the late Ida Bagus Mantra, who
was the former Director General of Culture (1968-1978) and
Governor of Bali (1978-1988), came up with the brilliant
idea of carrying out a festival to preserve and to develop
the Balinese culture.
 The festival, later known as The Bali
Arts Festival, is the annually fiesta of a full month of
daily performances, handicraft exhibitions and other
related cultural commercial activities which plainly are
presented by every region in Bali.
The whole Bali is flocked on Denpasar,
the capital city to present its offerings of dance, music
and beauty.
The 27th annual Bali
Arts Festival take place on 18th June - 16th July 2005
at the Arts Centre, Denpasar. President Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono open the festival at the Bajra Sandhi Monument
at Renon, Denpasar.
 The theme for the
festival this year is "Sangkala" which means
appreciating time. The festival will emphasis on five
major activities: carnival, performance, game, parade,
and seminar and exhibition.
 The
chief of the Department of Culture of the Province of
Bali, Mr. Nyoman Nikayana, says that to distribute
appreciation some events of the festival will be
executed in selected regencies on Bali.
This distribution aims
at gathering, preserving, and developing the arts and
culture at each regency. The peak of this "regency art
festival" will then be performed at the main Bali Arts
Festival 2005.
 Nikayana
says that until Monday, 18th April 2005, five groups of
arts from foreign countries have signed up for join in
the festival.
 They
are Gamelan Galatika (USA), Apsara Asia (Singapore),
Naha Bunka Kyokai (Japan), Shakespeare Pempest (USA),
Sekar Sakura Nagoya (Japan), and Wira Kencana Ibu-ibu
Jepang at Jakarta.
On the opening ceremony
a group of traditional comedians will entertain the
visitors at the north side of the Bajra Sandhi monument
(opposite of the Governor office). Each regency will
perform its best artists.
 Ogoh-ogoh
(giant dolls) that inspired its character from wayang
(puppet shadow) will parade through the street. For the
first time in the history of Bali Arts Festival, a group
of artists from ISI Yogyakarta will perform the Ramayana
epic on 26th June night.
About 10 thousand
artists will take part in the 30-day festival. The
schedule for the festival is arranged as follows: the
first 9 days will take place in the Art Centre
(Denpasar), the next 12 days will take places on
selected regencies, and the last 9 days will take place
back in the Art Centre (Denpasar).
