【Arts in the Cloud】

"Arts in the Cloud” is an online live streaming activity organised by UAC, which will cover all-inclusive arts knowledge in the form of "Artists’ Sharing + Interaction". Relying on live broadcast platforms such as BiliBili and Zoom as the main channels, each episode is about 60-90 minutes in length, including a wide range of topics, such as literature, fine arts, music, design, drama and other categories. Artists who may be hard to meet offline will be invited “in the cloud” to create a collision of ideas with you and look into the all-sided future of arts and life from the elementary to the profound.

【About New Who Art Village and the Guests】

New Who, with spontaneously gathered artists, is known as the most successful art district in Shenzhen. The artists residing in New Who Art Village are engaged in a wide range of art categories, including traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, sculpture, ceramics and so on, which greatly enriches the diversity of the artistic ecology and transforms New Who from an ordinary village at the urban fringe into a new and growing force in the field of culture and art in Shenzhen.
