鳌湖艺术村是始建于民国时代的古村，随着时间的流逝，村落逐渐衰败， 原本荒废的村子又因为艺术家的到来焕发了第二次生命。随后，还有来自OTC、深圳雕塑院、梧桐山和香港的艺术家进驻，一个艺术村落初具雏形。邓春儒先生通过努力一步步将古村转变为艺术村。

Aohu village was found in the early times of Republic of China. As times goes on, the village decline gradually. But the original abandoned village glowed  a second life because of the arrival of artists. Then more and more artists from OCT, Shenzhen sculpture academy, HongKong came here and settled down. Consequently, an art village is taken shape due to Mr Deng(a local artist) 's effort.
