Beijing – Artists from the Chinese mainland and Russia will join forces in an art exhibition titled Peace and Friendship – Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the World Anti-Fascist War. Co-organized by the Beijing People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the Beijing Russian Cultural Center, the event marks eight decades since the end of WWII and highlights creative dialogues between two nations.
Open to creators aged 18 to 45, the showcase invites a new generation of voices to reflect on history and envision cooperation. Submissions are accepted until mid-June, with a selection panel reviewing entries at the end of the month.
Key Dates:
- Submission deadline: mid-June
- Selection announcement: end of June
- Exhibition: August 7–16 at the China Millennium Monument in Beijing
Participants compete for 80 awards—15 first-place, 25 second-place, and 40 third-place winners—split evenly between the Chinese mainland and Russia. This structure underscores a balanced celebration of talent and shared remembrance.
Against a backdrop of geopolitical shifts and cultural exchange, this exhibition offers more than historical reflection. It invites young global citizens, entrepreneurs, activists, sports fans, and travelers to witness how art can bridge past and future, fostering cross-border conversations.
Whether you’re an emerging artist or an inspired spectator, this exhibition promises fresh perspectives on friendship and peace through powerful visuals and storytelling.
