Abstract
In the present study, I examine the activities of a community network called Tlatah bocah at Mount Merapi and discuss their methods of art management and the benefit of them to the communities involved. They have been conducting festivals of folk performing arts for children and scholarship programs while very much respecting participants’ autonomy. Many benefits were gained by the communities involved. This kind of structure can be called “community management”. I demonstrate that this new system can add a new role and new value to traditional performing arts, empowering local communities.

Summary
The role of art in society has been changing rapidly everywhere in the world. We can say that art has had social functions since ancient times and has been used as a tool in some societies. In recent years, we can see many artistic activities empower people or communities in difficult situations. In this way, the role of art is widened in present society. There have been many attempts to help marginalized people, such as the homeless, the poor or the handicapped, through art. These attempts help participants gain or regain social connectedness and communication skill in various ways.
