One of China’s leading contemporary art fairs, ART021 Shanghai has welcomed visitors each autumn to the grand Russian neoclassical halls of the Shanghai Exhibition Center since 2013. This distinguished platform bridges artistic dialogues between galleries, creators, collectors, and enthusiasts, while staying true to its ethos of ‘global vision, local roots.’ Through its dedicated efforts to nurture China’s domestic art ecosystem and elevate the standing of Chinese contemporary art, ART021 has become an integral force in the Asian art market and beyond.
In collaboration with Porsche China, the Porsche Young Chinese Artist of the Year Nominated Exhibition is presented annually at the fair and announces award winners on the opening day, spotlighting emerging talents whose bold experimentation and creative innovation shape the future of Chinese art.
