Beijing exhibit showcases artworks of special needs children

Brimming with bright colors, imagination, and great love for sports, an ongoing exhibition at the X Museum in Beijing shines a spotlight on the artistic talent of children with intellectual disabilities.

Titled "Children's Sports, Paint the Beauty", the charity exhibit, running until Aug 15, is co-organized by the museum, NBA Cares, and Special Olympics East Asia.

On show are 60 sports-themed paintings, including sketches, watercolors, and collage, which were selected from over 300 entries submitted by children, aged between four and 16, from the country's 40 Special Olympics Unified Schools.
