The China Academy of

Art will host a series of

activities to celebrate the

school’s 95th birthday in

November.

Here we checked the activity list

and found some highlights.

The Centennial Retrospective

Exhibition of Zao Wou-Ki(1920-

2013) was a clear choice for the

centerpiece of the celebrations.

About 200 of Zao’s works have

returned to his alma mater, showing the master’s art styles and

achievements in oil, ink-wash, watercolor, woodblock printing and

porcelain through February 20.

Zao is one of China’s most famous contemporary abstract oil

painters. He studied painting at

the China Academy of Art during

the 1930s and taught at the academy during the 1940s.

The activity series “Reports from

the World, Launch of IWV2023:

Mutual-Learning of Civilizations Starplex, Total Exhibition

of IWV2025: Mutual-Learning of

Civilizations” is another highlight

of the event.

The CAA dispatched faculty

and students to 12 cultural sites

to draw inspiration. All of the

work will be displayed at the

anniversary.

Over the past 95 years, the CAA

has developed into a national institution for higher education in

fine arts, with more than 10,000

students and faculty across five

major campuses, namely Nanshan,

Xiangshan, Xianghu and Liangzhu

in Hangzhou, and Zhangjiang in

Shanghai.

Most of the celebrations will

be held at the Liangzhu Campus.

It’s a pilot zone to explore innovative methods of education,

applying a wall-less campus for

talent cultivation. It aims to break

the boundaries of different academic disciplines, integrate art

with technology and commerce,

and incubate leading academic research into future contemporary

art. It’s considered an ideal space

to host the main activities.

The Liangzhu Campus focuses

on the teaching of artistic design,

with an aim to develop itself into

a mecca for Chinese modern designers. During the celebrations,

visitors learn about the advanced

concepts of the CAA.

Early in April, the CAA unveiled

the CAA Cosmos and Meta Art

Academy, which was also part of

the 95th anniversary.

The CAA Cosmos is an online

art community that allows realtime multi-person interaction. In

addition to organizing and participating in art activities, users can

learn, socialize and play games

by creating their own digital

identities, sharing their original

artwork.

The Meta Art Academy is a mixed

virtual art academy for single-person immersive experiences, with

hyper-immersive-themed world

courses, realistic audio-visual exhibitions and performances.
