This study aims to reveal the values of local arts wisdom that can be used as a source of learning for multicultural education. The qualitative method is used in this study. Data collection uses observation techniques focused on the diversity of visual works from several local community groups on the north coast of Central Java, interviews, and documentation. Data were analysed descriptively and interpretatively towards the realisation of visual forms through the procedures of reduction, presentation, and verification. The results showed that the visualisation of the visual forms of some visual works in the study area showed the existence of local wisdom values that represented a tolerant and accommodating attitude towards foreign cultural elements. These local arts wisdom values are very relevant if they are used as a source of learning for multicultural education in pluralistic community life. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
