The 2nd “My Favorite Toy” International Youth Painting Expo Call for Entries
To deepen international cultural exchange and promote friendly interactions, the 2nd “My Favorite Toy” International Youth Painting Expo will simultaneously open in multiple countries in June 2024.
This event aims to create an international art exchange platform for young people who love painting. Through a variety of rich art exchange activities, we will look forward to a future of mutual learning among international civilizations, enhancing friendships, and sketching a blueprint for peace.
The theme of the event is “My Favorite Toy,” touching upon the innocence and memories of every child’s childhood. This event will feature international touring art exhibitions in Australia, the United States, and China. We hope to inspire the creativity of young people from both countries, broaden their international cultural horizons, and promote cultural and artistic exchanges among international youths. Together, we will guard peace, share beauty, and protect our common home.
Let art cross oceans and connect hearts! The “My Favorite Toy” International Youth Painting Expo will grandly commence.
We are committed to creating an international art exchange platform where young people who love painting can freely express their emotions and creativity, deeply exploring and understanding the commonalities and differences under different cultural backgrounds. There is also an opportunity to gain overseas study experiences.
