Preservation of Traditional Arts in Growing Love of Local Culture

Abstract

This study aims to describe various problems
related to the preservation of traditional arts at the Klapa
Jajar Art Studio, Pekalipan Village, Cirebon City. In this
study the authors used a qualitative descriptive research
method. The author saw firsthand the problems that
existed in the Klapa Jajar art studio, Pekalipan Village,
Cirebon City. Then the author developed specifically the
problems that were in place and made an Innovation
Design in the form of implementation. Data collection
techniques were carried out by direct interviews and
documentation and direct observation. Based on the
results of the above research, it can be concluded that in
an effort to preserve traditional arts there are problems
related to art marketing, promotion and a lack of interest
in preserving arts from cultural elements. The
preservation of traditional arts as an effort to foster the
love of local culture in the Klapa Jajar art studio has an
effect on the progress and preservation of art that has
been dim for the last few years and supports people's
interest in advancing their own local arts. The form of
preservation of traditional arts as an effort to foster the
love of Cirebon local culture in the Klapa Jajar art studio
can be started from various elements in society to be
invited to be pro-active in supporting conservation efforts
by optimizing the media for art documentation
