The 8th Songzhuang Culture and Art Festival
At 3:00 pm on October 31, 2013, the 8th China Songzhuang Culture and Art Festival hosted by the Beijing Songzhuang Art Development Foundation The opening ceremony of the festival was officially launched. Unlike previous Songzhuang Art Festivals that used dazzling sound, light and electricity to hold dazzling opening ceremonies to create momentum and attract attention, this year's Art Festival appears slightly "quieter". Instead, we found a new way to move the traditional opening ceremony content to the Internet. Use new media platforms to bring the art festival closer to people.
Nearly 1,500 Songzhuang artists participated in the Songzhuang Art Festival, making it the Songzhuang Art Festival with the largest number of artist participants in history.
The theme of this year's art festival is "Art for Everyone, Art for Everyone", which explains the "relationship" between art. Wang Qiang, the chief planner of this Songzhuang Art Festival, pointed out: "Songzhuang is originally an art district. Artists in the art district have created so many works. Through these works, they illustrate the relationship between art, that is, the relationship between art and people, and the area. The relationship between people, the relationship with space, and the relationship with artists. Art is no longer a lofty palace art, but a process of transformation to ordinary people." The aim is to "tear down" the walls of the museum and make the avant-garde art that was once restricted to a small circle more accessible to the people through the form of "watching art in the open air and teaching you how to play with art", so that ordinary citizens can also get close to professional art festivals.
