On July 31, the 2012 Art Nova 100 program opened in Beijing with a large-scale VIP exhibition and cocktail reception. The 120 young artists had more than 360 works on display at the event. Over the next year, the Art Nova 100 Organizing Committee will take these works to various cities on an extended exhibition tour that will cooperate with a range of arts organizations. The 2012 Art Nova 100 program will provide the young artists with a profound, high-level promotion and exhibition platform to further their development.
