On July 10th, the launch ceremony of the hundred day countdown for the 22nd Shanghai International Art Festival was held at the Shanghai International Art Festival Center in China. This year's art festival will be held from October 15th to November 15th. The scale of projects such as performance exhibitions, Art Sky, and Youth Support Committee has exceeded previous years, and it is expected to hold over 400 various activities, benefiting 6 million visitors. Overseas projects account for nearly 60%, with a 20% increase in activities across various sectors. In August, the plays of this year's art festival will be officially announced.
A large number of international renowned artists, masterpieces, and groups will return with a heavy weight, and their premiere, exhibition, and debut projects will gather on the Shanghai stage. The festival actively responded to the 10th anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, and set up special "Silk Road Light" series performances, exhibitions, forums and other activities. The art festival is also based on its own development. On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the "Youth Assistance Plan", it is the first time to recruit works from around the world. It has set up a visual arts section, further expanding the connotation and influence of ARTRA, a new brand of art integration, and creating a "nuclear explosion point" for the art festival to break through boundaries and attract young audiences.
For the past three years, the Art Festival Center has maintained close interaction with the domestic and international entertainment industry. The news of the restart of this year's art festival quickly received widespread feedback from friends at home and abroad. In the opening ceremony of the art festival, more than 40 well-known artists and executives from performing arts institutions at home and abroad, including Placido Domingo, Aku Hamm, Tan Dun, and Shen Wei, presented their sincere wishes for the hosting of the 22nd Shanghai International Art Festival in China.
The art festival relies on H5 games to release the main visual of this year's art festival, with the concept of "the rhythmic window of art birds returning home" and the main design element of the flying "art bird" image, representing the return and continuation of the art festival. As the countdown to the big screen began and froze on the day of the hundred day countdown to this year's art festival, the "art bird" spread its wings and flew to the sky to overlook Shanghai, spreading its wings to explore the world. The flowing ribbons then transformed into the main visual of this year's art festival. The game can generate an art festival poster for players that belongs to them.
At the ceremony, Shang Changrong, a Beijing Opera performer who witnessed the establishment and development of the art festival and was once awarded the "Art Star" of the Shanghai International Art Festival, made an appearance and presented the 22nd Shanghai International Art Festival poster commemorative edition to young actors Luo Chenxue, Tan Yimei, and Wang Huaifu. Between deliveries, the flame of art silently inherits and rejuvenates, and new artistic forces will receive more attention on the art festival platform.
Li Ming, President of Shanghai International Art Festival Center, and Ben Min, President of Bright Dairy, signed a three-year strategic partnership agreement. The Shanghai International Art Festival in China, with its strong brand influence and appeal, has received support and funding from equally influential brands. It will leverage more market forces to invest in the development of cultural undertakings, provide support for promoting the output of more high-quality cultural content, and further enrich the cultural and artistic life of Shanghai citizens.
This year's Shanghai International Art Festival in China will further strengthen international benchmarking, improve the quality of the festival, promote high-quality development of the city through culture, and continuously enhance the charm of the city. Adhering to the unchanging principle of "a grand event of art and a festival for the people", the art festival continuously enhances its global cultural resource allocation capacity and strives to create a Shanghai model that promotes cultural confidence and self-improvement.
