Guandu International Nature Art Festival
|
With the experience in the past two decades, the Festival has come to a new stage in 2016 by resetting its title to “Guandu International Nature Art Festival.” The triangle composed of river culture, wetland conservation, and environmental art is still the solid foundation of the curatorial concepts. Guandu International Nature Art Festival is expected to serve as a catalyst to deepen the public’s awareness of our environment, as well as care for local cultures. It is hoped that every single participant of the Festival will take the initiative to connect with their surroundings, to get inspired by nature, and to make an effort in finding a way to a sustainable future.
