Launched in December 2013, the fund supports creation and promotion of, and talent cultivation for, stage arts and fine arts that represent the nation's artistic benchmark, either with sponsorship or awards. The funds mainly come from the central government and public donations.

The anniversary celebration includes a tour of 15 performing arts productions it sponsored from Sept 7 to Nov 14 in Beijing, Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces.

It will also host an exhibition at the China National Arts and Crafts Museum and China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum in Beijing in December, introducing its achievements over the past decade with physical exhibits, archives, photos and videos.

Seminars will be held to discuss the fund's sponsoring mechanism — its emphasis, operation and output — and future prospects. Related publications to review the fund's decadelong development will be released, while around 150 stage works and 400 art pieces will be displayed online.
