Qualitative descriptive research data is collected by interviews (art forum and companion participants), observation (learning activities and learning environment) and document analysis (data from art forum members). The results of the study were that art forum participants were students with a diversity of potential, gender differences, differences in age and level of education and differences in learning needs to get equal opportunities in the learning process. Art forum participants actively use the internet, which is looking for literature on the material needed. The art forum in its implementation provides a flexible learning space for the development of students potential in the arts, so that everything related to the learning process of art forums supports the creation of active and independent art learning society.
