Jakarta – POLRI held the 2022 Police Art Festival. This festival was created as a form of POLRI’s concern for artists, and also tries to present works of art to various communities.
Head of Police Public Relations Division Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo said the concept of the Police Art Festival is the value of collaboration between artists, in expressing individual artistic creativity into a unified work in the media facilities provided.
“This festival carries the concept of simplicity and is environmentally friendly in various activities,” said Dedi in his written statement, Thursday (12/15/2022).
Furthermore, Dedi said that this festival would also be attended by artists with disabilities. This was done as a step for the National Police to create a comfortable environment for persons with disabilities, especially in the arts to appreciate artists with their limitations so they can keep working.
“This festival is also being held in connection with the international day of persons with disabilities which falls on December 3,” he said.
