Changning district is hosting the 18th Shanghai Youth Art Exhibition at the Liu Haisu Art Museum.

Under the theme "Tech Wit", this year's exhibition explores the limitless possibilities of human imagination and artistic creativity in the age of artificial intelligence.

Attracting a wide range of young artists from around the globe, the exhibition received a record-breaking 4,060 entries, with about 400 outstanding works selected for display.

These pieces span a variety of art forms such as painting, sculpture, and digital art. They feature both the fusion of traditional culture and modern technology, as well as many uniquely creative and individual pieces, reflecting young artists' in-depth exploration and unique reflections on the integration of technology and art.

For the first time, the exhibition partners with the Shanghai Metro to create an art-themed train on Line 4, integrating art into the daily lives of the city's commuters.

The YoungV short video project invites young artists to chronicle the behind-the-scenes intricacies of their creative processes, sources of inspiration, and emotional journeys through challenges.
