The art season, as a warm-up event for the light festival, will present a seasonal landscape that integrates lights and shadows, markets, music, tea, films and public art.
The Affordable Art Market (买得起的艺术市集) will bring together selected works, including paintings, prints, contemporary artworks, and derivative products, from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the 798 Art Zone, as well as various artists and designers.
The Beautiful Life Market (生活美学市集) will feature a curated selection of lifestyle brands, which cover trendy items, handicrafts, intangible cultural heritage products, jewelry, creative cultural products, and pieces made by independent designers, showcasing diverse forms of beauty from multiple perspectives.
The Food and Drink Market (吃吃喝喝市集) focuses on the gastronomic part of life aesthetics — when art integrates with drinks, coffee and organic food, beauty finds expression in everyday life.
At the Children's Inspiration Market (儿童灵感市集), young participants can take on the role of stallholders and learn to express themselves, communicate and share in real social settings.
The art season will also feature a special section called Friends' Flea Market (朋友们的闲鱼). Participants can bring items they no longer use frequently and find new homes for them through selling or exchanging.
The large interactive light installation Magic Light Mountain (幻光之山) will return for a limited time, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in oriental-style paper-cut light projections while snapping photos.
Tea parties and film screenings have also been arranged, creating tranquil spaces that underline artistic experiences and relaxation for the soul.
AcaLab, a Beijing-based vocal ensemble, will present an a cappella flash mob performance.
Along the Liangma River, a vibrant and exciting way of life is taking center stage. Join us in embracing the golden autumn through the consumption season!
