2、The "Dangdai International Art Festival" (DIAF)

The "Dangdai International Art Festival" (DIAF) is not only the first ever contemporary art festival in China, but also the only art festival in China to take an international and multidisciplinary approach to contemporary art, incorporating the work of over fifty nationalities.

The 798 art district, located in an old Bauhaus-style industrial complex, has been continuously on the cutting edge of new trends in Beijing. Through the creative contribution of the DIAF (Dangdai International Art Festival) Dashanzi industrial area has been recognized as a protected zone of industrial architectural heritage and acquired a worldwide reputation.

This year, many Chinese and Foreign artists are involved in the 2007 edition of DIAF through visual art, live creations, screenings, dance and music, - for the pleasure of all generations, including children.

Because DIAF is now embracing many creative centers in Beijing, the epicenter of the festival will move from place to place during 3 weeks, with many openings, live events and special gatherings for art lovers.
