City-Love --Art Exhibition of Internation Children
"Better city, better life."
What is a fantastic city life in our children's eyes? They paint what they loves, express their beautiful wish by different colors. Parents are always the first fans of these young artists.
Shanghai Hongmiao Art is organising an exhibition of children's paintings, opening on 13th Dec, Sunday afternoon, on the theme: "City-Love".
The gallery " Shanghai Hongmiao Art " is located in Nanjing Dong LU, No 496 and it is one of the oldest temple in Shanghai which has been converted into a gallery by a Chinese Lady called Mrs Li. It is a very charming place and extremely well located. Mrs Li and Holly Zhao, the curator, would very much like to give a international dimension to this exhibition, especially with the International Expo coming next year.
