A unique art festival titled Art Love U will be held from 1 to 12 November 2024 at the Jakarta Design Center. The festival will explore the language of love by 43 current artists who agree to dissect the meaning of love in a broader perspective, namely the spirit of youth and passion for art. President Director of Jakarta Design Centre, Nurul Syahri explained the new vision and mission of the JDC Building with the tagline The Premium Hub of Art, Design Community and Commerce. This activity is carried out to support the development of art, culture and creativity that boasts Indonesian tourism, one of which is through the Art Love U activity.

Jakarta Design Centre will continue to create creative spaces with various art events. Artistic Director of the Art Love U Festival, Rohadi, said that the Art Love U Festival is an effort to respond to the development of the world of education and industry, which now tends to technology and culture. Rohadi added that the Festival provides a service and design space that features JDC as a hub, including an art performance with a tagline change. The series of events are Artist Talk, Workshop, and Creative Sharing to appreciation of art education such as sketching.

The artists involved included Joko Avianto, Dolorosa Sinaga, Kun Tanubrata, Bintang Tanatimur, Bill Mohdor, Jason Ranti.
