Abstract: Intangible Culture Heritage (ICH) exists through collectively cultured actions and is identified individually, in groups and large divisions or communities. The weight of modernization that necessitates reform in all facets of life has threatened the practice and compromised the tradition of cultural comprising the intangible cultural heritage of current society. This study aspires to examine the mechanism of activities based on ICH in a community-based art project Lendu International Art Camp (LIAC). The qualitative study in the mode of this single case research concerned observation, fieldwork and document analysis. The study discovered that Intangible Culture Heritage Empowerment (ICHE) appeared through the value of inclusive knowledge/education built through three groups of activity classifications encompassing; Visual Art Expression, Health & Wellbeing and Heritage & Local Culture. This usefulness of inclusive knowledge/education has a diversity of styles of learning pedagogy such as collaborative, collective, informal and experiential learning that is established from the participatory action of the participants. The contributions of this research are that community-based art bears the potential to be a substantial contributor to reviving the cultural heritage of the community by way of comprehensive, inclusive knowledge.
