Many artists become famous through this platform. The exhibition will be split up into three large sections: Modern International Art, Art Nova 100, and New Nanjing Power. It will incorporate youth artist resources from Asia and countries around the world. The hundreds of pieces of artwork include various art forms like traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, sculpture, woodblock prints, and photography.
