The 2017 Chongqing Modern Pottery Invitation Exhibition was staged at the ADC Art Center in Liangjiang New Area’s Jinshan E-cool on April 19, giving enthusiasts the chance to get closer to ceramic art.
The exhibition, co-hosted by Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, Sichuan Fine Art Institute and ADC Art Center, will last until May 31. More than 80 ceramic masterpieces created by 38 top ceramists are being displayed during the exhibition. The artists come from different parts of the world, including China, America and the Congo.
Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute is the only institute of higher education in China dedicated to the study of ceramic arts. It is the first time a comprehensive ceramics exhibition has been hosted in southwestern China.
“Artists we invited are all well-educated and are engaged in ceramic education and practice, and have done a great job in artistic creation,” said Shao Changzong, an organizer of the exhibition.
Jinshan E-cool, located in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing, is an art zone similar to the famous 798 District in Beijing. The zone was established in December 2016 to provide a public cultural community and enrich people’s lives.
