Representatives from leading domestic art colleges sign up to establish the "China Rural Aesthetic Education Alliance," in Luojing Town of Shanghai's suburban Baoshan District on December 9.
A rural aesthetic education program was launched in Shanghai's suburban Baoshan District on December 9 aimed at revitalizing rural areas through the integration of art and culture.
The program, a collaboration between Baoshan's Luojing Town, Shanghai University's Academy of Fine Arts and the Shanghai Institute for Urban Renewal and Sustainable Development, hopes to contribute to China's broader rural revitalization initiatives, the district government said.
As a key part of the program, the "China Rural Aesthetic Education Alliance," formed by various national art universities, was officially unveiled in the town. It seeks to employ artistic and educational resources to enhance the cultural and aesthetic landscape of rural communities.
The 2023 Shanghai Science, Innovation, Art and Urban Academic Festival was also held. It focused on integrating art and science in rural settings to foster a harmonious urban-rural cultural relationship.
