The Opening Ceremony of the International Art Exhibition China Tour Held at Jinan Art Museum

On the morning of August 6, 2024, the opening ceremony of the "2024-Inquiry: International Art Exhibition" China Tour was grandly held at the Jinan Art Museum (Jinan Academy of Painting).

This exhibition collected 405 paintings worldwide, focusing on meticulous brushwork (Gongbi) and Japanese painting. After evaluation by Chinese and Japanese experts and final review by the organizing committee, 197 works were selected for display. The tour exhibition was successfully held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum in May this year, receiving high praise from various sectors of Japanese society and the art community.

Now the tour has arrived in Jinan, bringing the people of the City of Springs a magnificent international art feast. As an exhibition with international influence, the tour provides a platform for artistic dialogue between nations, promotes the exchange and mutual learning of civilizations between China and foreign countries, and advances Chinese art onto the world stage, making a positive contribution to East Asian art and cultural exchange.
