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.
