Exhibition conditions

Please carefully read the conditions below.

 

Exhibition Venue:

The exhibition will take place in August 2026, at the CAA Art Museum in Hangzhou, Capital of Zhejiang Province, west of Shangai.

The Art Museum of the China Academy of Art is an integral part of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, one of the oldest and most prestigious art institutions in China, founded in 1935 with the mission of promoting art and artistic education nationwide.

The museum belongs to a network of major institutional spaces that includes the Art Museum, the Design Museum, and the Craft Museum, and houses a collection of over 100,000 works, encompassing ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, as well as modern and contemporary artworks.
It has been officially recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Culture as one of China’s key art museums and is a member of CIMAM (International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art).

Combining tradition and contemporaneity, the Academy actively promotes exhibitions ranging from classical Chinese art to global contemporary artistic innovation, and has collaborated with major international institutions, including projects linked to the Venice Biennale.

This summer exhibition is conceived as a selective and complementary initiative, extending the artistic and cultural dialogue developed through the Taiyuan project, and offering artists enhanced visibility within an academic and museum context of excellence.
