Bridging Hope Charity Foundation was delighted to be a panelist at this year’s Chinese Contemporary Art Month Forum on Saturday 14 April 2018. As part of our commitment to the Arts and artists both locally and internationally, we were invited to discuss the topic of ‘Australia-China Exchange and Interaction in Contemporary Art’.

For a third consecutive year, Chinese Contemporary Art Month 2018 will run from 13 April – 5 May 2018, featuring one main exhibition, two forums and a selected collection of associated exhibitions. The exhibition ties in with 100 years anniversary of Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA).

Following the success since its inauguration in 2016, this year’s Chinese Contemporary Art Month seeks to deliver an eclectic mix of Chinese Contemporary Art and continue facilitating constructive communication between Chinese and Australian contemporary artists, collectors, curators and industry professionals. China Cultural Centre in Sydney invites Chinese and Australian contemporary artists, collectors, curators and industry professionals to share ideas and experience on contemporary art collections and Australia-China art exchange.
