Mission: The commune invites artists who are interested in participating in our International Art Training and Experience Program.

It will also afford you a stage to experience drawing, paintings, and making pottery and try your best to blend native custom and personal style and come to acme.
A lovely ancient Chinese village is, in this way, supplying unique landscape and abundant inspiration when you face the nature and buildings here and sketch them. Still, we will resolve these troubles concerning imaginations and space as far as possible, so that you will have a different art travel.
