Hongmei Cloth-pasted painting is more than folk art, it has also helped the city enrich the culture market and boost the economy. To meet the likes of the customers, their catalog includes various products of different themes — flowers, vegetables, calligraphy, and animals.
The fair also invited foreign artists. The southeastern Asia art works were shown in Zone B. Exotic art pieces from India, Thailand, Laos, Burma and Brunei attracted large amounts of viewers. The fair provided a fantastic platform to enhance cultural and artistic communication.
Other activities were also held by the organizers including a photo show, a day for people with disabilities, a day for seniors and free visits for children of migrant workers and poor families. “We will do our best to ensure that the folk art fair will be a grand cultural event for the public and a famous cultural brand for the city,” said Zhang Shouzhi, director of the organizing committee of the fair.
