Kang says that the name of the game in establishing art villages is to create a symbiosis. In Treasure Hill's case, this means getting the village's underprivileged residents, its resident artists, and those who rent rooms in the youth hostel to come to respect one another in the long term. "Living together will gradually break down the barriers between them," says Kang.
康旻杰表示，藝術村以「共生」為名，是希望未來長期待在此處的弱勢居民、駐村藝術家，及青年旅社的租客間，彼此能互相尊重，「藉著共同生活，將彼此的界線逐漸消融掉。」
