The 8th (not annual) China Arts Festival opened in Wuhan Monday night ushering in two weeks of exhibits and performances from over 8,000 artists. Unlike national arts festivals in other countries which tend to preview new artistic endeavors, China’s festival, as the organizers have said, will showcase “the latest major achievement and fruits of the Chinese cultural and art sectors over the past five years.” The arts festival, organized by China’s Ministry of Culture and the Wuhan local government features 54 Chinese shows and 10 foreign productions all competing for the coveted Wenhua prize. During the two-week festival, all of Wuhan’s museums and memorial halls are free to the public.
