On 19th May, Crossover Art in School- Pen Activities of Artists of Macau and Mainland China, organized by CityU and co-organized by the Chinese Promotion Association for Cross-Cultural Communication and Jingdezhen Art Museum, was held in CityU. The event deployed porcelains as a medium for having art connoisseurs and experts gathering together to exchange their ideas, for experts to display their painting and calligraphic capabilities, for boosting cultural exchange and cooperation of the university with other artistic institutions, for accelerating aesthetic embellishment throughout the campus, for providing a platform for artists from Macau and Mainland China to undergo artistic collaboration, and last but not least, for celebrating the 35th anniversary of the university. Artists painted porcelains for demonstrations and presented their artworks to the university as gifts at the end. Meanwhile, certificates were granted to them in honor of their participation and contribution by the university. Rector Shu Guang Zhang, Mr. Zhang Xiaoguang, former Assistant Director of Department of Culture and Education of Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Macao SAR; Ms. Li Nan, Director-General of the Department of Public Diplomacy and Information of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Macao SAR; Ms. Zhong Yi, Member of the Administrative Committee of the Macau Foundation; Ms. Vong Iut Peng, Functional Head of Tertiary Education Services Office; Mr. Rui Kim, President of Chinese Promotion Association for Cross-Cultural Communication; and Mr. Chen Jun, Curator of Jingdezhen Art Museum; presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony of the event. A seminar was arranged on the sideline of this event for the audience to explore in depth the distinct features of Chinese painting and calligraphy arts through a unique perspective. CityU actively cooperates with many artistic institutions in recent years. The university, together with Chinese Promotion Association for Cross-Cultural Communication and Jingdezhen Art Museum, invited renowned experts of painting and calligraphy from Macau and mainland China to present an ingenious art exhibition to the students and teachers for the sake of fostering the cultural and artistic atmosphere in the campus.
