Museum spotlights rising creative voices

The National Art Museum of China is more than a place to admire ancient masterpieces and works by established artists. It also serves as a platform for emerging talent to present bold new ideas and artistic explorations.

National Exhibition of Innovative Art by Young and Middle-aged Artists, running through Aug 11, is the museum's latest effort to spotlight the country's rising creative voices.

Featuring more than 150 works in a wide range of media, the exhibition draws from the museum's collection, with pieces selected by its curators and sourced from across the country.

The museum plans to make the exhibition an annual fixture on its calendar.
