Forums address art education's role in rural vitalization in Sichuan

How art can be integrated into the lives of those living in the countryside to inspire their creativity in rural construction and to educate the young generation on improving rural landscapes?

This has been at the heart of Art Jinyang 2022, an ongoing cultural event in Jinyang, a picturesque place in northern Sichuan province.

The event includes exhibitions, public programs and also forums which team up figures from the cultural and academic circles. Their discussions have centered around the role of art in social development and school education in villages and towns like Jinyang.

Speakers at the forums shared views on the ways cultural resources from outside adapted to the natural environment and social realities of the rural places, and the importance of cultivating people who are committed to rural vitalization.
