The importance of community-based arts initiatives as a means of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fostering social change at the local level is growing. The SDGs seek to solve a number of global issues, such as social injustice, poverty, inequality, and climate change through collaborative and participatory methods involving local communities. This paper aims to identify the relationship between the impact of community-based art program in the context of the SDGs and Lendu International Art Camp#4 (LIAC#4) as a case study. The study evaluation involved a total of one hundred (n=100) purposive sampling, based on online and field surveys. The five elements of the SDGs achieved through LIAC#4, involve good health & wellbeing (3), empowering quality education (4), encouraging economy growth (8), building sustainable cities and communities (11), and nurturing responsible consumption and production (12) are achieved through activities based on Creativity and Knowledge, Environmental Sustainability and Economy Empowerment context. LIAC#4 has supported sustainable cities and communities through awareness of environmental care, strengthening social connections and cohesion, and revitalizing and developing a new economy for the area. Community-based art programs can be used as a tool to achieve the development goals of the SDG agenda.
