Art Nova 100 offers young artists showcase for their talents

Ever since it was launched in 2011, Art Nova 100, a Beijing-based institution which promotes young artists, mostly aged 35 and below, has helped more than 200 artists find galleries and more than 150 hold their first solo exhibitions.

For Zhao Li, a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, who founded the platform, introducing these newcomers to galleries and art curators is only a part of Art Nova 100's commitment. He also hopes to make them more widely known, by showing their works at spaces that receive a lot of visitors.

That is why the institution started its Art Nova 100 Opening Exhibition at a temporarily-built hall in Ditan Park in the heart of the capital city six years ago.
