Chinese art on its way to us...
... and we are delighted.
Last year, a group of artists from the Siegerland Artists' Workgroup traveled to our twin city of Deyang in the People's Republic of China.
Even though the announced return visit by officials from Deyang will finally not be taking place this year, the German-Chinese Friendship Society and the artists of the ASK have successfully found interesting collaborations in China, which is why two exhibitions of Chinese art photography will be shown in August on this pre-Olympic year.
