The first Minhang and Changning Artists Association Academic Exchange Exhibition of "Xu Feng" in 2023 opened on July 8th at the Shanghai Shanghai Art Museum. The planning and preparation for this art exhibition began at the end of 2022. 110 painters were selected from each district, with a total of 116 works per group. After evaluation by the art committees of the two districts, the exhibition was exhibited.
The Minhang and Changning Artists Association jointly held an art exhibition, which is the first time since the establishment of the Artists Association in each district of Shanghai. Painters from the two districts account for one eighth of Shanghai's artists. There are many famous artists in the two districts, including leading figures active in the current art world and emerging emerging new artists. In recent years, artist exchanges between the two districts have become increasingly frequent, with a strong academic atmosphere, laying a solid foundation for this exhibition. This art exhibition focuses on Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, and comprehensive materials, with diverse styles and forms.
The exhibition hall does not specifically indicate whether it is a painter from Minhang or Changning. Zhou Weiping, Vice Chairman and Secretary General of the Changning Artists Association, introduced that among the participating painters, professional painters are mainly in Changning District and non professional painters are mainly in Minhang District. Many people, although members of the Artists Association, actually create in their spare time. There are also many professional painters in Minhang District, but there are more than 200 members of the Minhang District Artists Association. Due to exhibition hall restrictions, applicants need to be screened before they can enter the exhibition. More than 60 members of the Changning District Artists Association have participated, and most of them have presented their best works. In order to increase the significance of academic exchange, the organizers plan to hold an academic exchange activity on July 18th, with 15 artists selected from each district to participate in the discussion, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and jointly promote the development of Shanghai style art.
Huang Azhong, Chairman of the Changning Artists Association, stated that by jointly organizing exhibitions, Minhang and Changning can stimulate the creative enthusiasm of each region and further expand the audience of art. "We believe that this exhibition will play a role in promoting the prosperity of Shanghai's cultural and artistic creation. Here, we open up the arms of the two districts' culture and art, and welcome friends from all over with our works." Huang Shijian, Chairman of the Minhang Artists Association, said that this art joint exhibition is based on the exhibition of selected art works by the two districts' Artists Association, strengthening interaction and exchange, academic guidance, and advocating the public welfare concept of modern art serving the public.
