On Friday 21 July, Creative Commons Garden (ccGarden), a local Creative Commons (CC) promotion-oriented organization, in collaboration with Creative Commons Taiwan (ccTaiwan) will host a 'Creative Commons Collage Party' in Taipei. The concept of the party is to invite creators to bring their CC-released works to the party and encourage them to remix and collage their work with one another at the event.

At the Collage party, several popular Taiwanese musicians and digital artists will present their works live and share their creative experiences with the participants. The performers include Lim Giong, a dj
renowned for his Cannes-nominated music in the film 'Millennium Mambo'; Chu Yue Hsin, who released the very first CC-licensed album, 'Jesus Rock!!!' to the Chinese-speaking market; Angelika Wang, a senior film planner, who also organised the 'Taiwan International Children's TV & Film Festival', the 'Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival' and the 'Purple Ribbon Arts Parade'.

A documentary related to ccGarden, made by students from the Department of Multimedia and Animation Arts of the National Taiwan University of Arts will be also played at the party.
