THE Haishang Seal Engraver’s Society Art Center was launched on July 8 at Putuo District Culture Center. Artworks of contemporary artists such as Fang Quji, Han Tianheng, Chen Mingwu, Wu Zijian and Liu Yiwen were on display after the inauguration, highlighting the refined traditional Chinese arts like calligraphy, painting and seal.
According to Zhou Minhao, director of Putuo District, the district has long placed a high premium on improving the cultural soft power. In recent years, the district has strengthened public cultural services, especially the building of community cultural facilities, cultural branding and the protection of cultural heritage.
The district has also spared no effort to introduce high-quality cultural resources and reinforce the innovation of the cultural mechanism.
According to Zhou, the launch of the art center will enrich the cultural resources of the district and enhance its culture character. In the future, they will support the art center to host a variety of cultural events, as well as public programs in collaboration with education institutions and social organizations.
In October last year, the Putuo District Bureau of Culture signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Haishang Seal Engraver’s Society. The district announced that it will provide cultural space and support the art center. Both parties will collaborate to boost the convergence of the district’s cultural undertakings and industries to create new cultural characteristics and highlights.
The two opening exhibitions of the art center attracted a number of visitors. The art exhibition of contemporary artists in the city displayed around 300 artworks in calligraphy, painting and seal. They were created by the city’s 40 or so outstanding artists who were born before the 1960s. Their works boast a variety of styles and subjects, reflecting tolerance and energy. The other exhibition, which features the artworks of Fang Quji and his students, displayed around 180 calligraphy, painting and seal works. It was a tribute to the artistic achievements of the late artist Fang.
Art lovers said that the launch of the art center was good news for them and expect to see a lot more high-quality art exhibitions in future.
