Covering an area of 20,000 square meters, the exhibition will consist of three parts: public art pavilion, contemporary art pavilion and classic art pavilion.

The first part will pay close attention to the current ecological environment so as to provoke thoughts amongst the visitors on the importance of green development.

The classic art pavilion will feature themed individual exhibitions of famous artists from China.

The Art Amoy (Amoy – the old name of Xiamen), supported by Chinese Artists Association, China Central Academy of Fine Arts and China National Academy of Painting, aims to become an artistic hub in the coastal city.
