In the context of Shanghai’s flourishing with contemporary art galleries and museums, ARTZ’s launch represents a premiere for the local art scene: ARTZ is the first online platform which leads off to present Romania’s contemporary art to China, as it is well known that the two countries share 70 years of political, economical and cultural relationships. ARTZ’s mission is to develop a program of exhibiting a selection of works signed by famous Romanian artists, with museum-level curatorship, artist talks, and cross-cultural projects in Mainland China. Why this niche: because Romanian art is extremely well appreciated and collected in Europe and USA, but less known in China, therefore ARTZ aspires to be one of the most important promoters of Romanian art here. ARTZ Gallery is an active promoter of the cultural interchange between China and Romania, aiming to be an important factor in the development of the art industry of both countries.

The gallery’s collection also includes a high-standard selection of international artists, each with a uniquely modern approach to art, as their goal is to promote both young and established contemporary artists regardless of nationality.

The exhibition displayed on the occasion of the ARTZ Gallery launch features 6 artists: Irina Banari, Zooming Dynasty and Sergiu Roman from Romania, Peggy Le Poulen from France, Mary A. Johnson from USA, and Joy Chiang from Australia.

The host of our event is The Museum of Creative Minds (MUSEu&m) located at 1F B4-1, NO.388 Bansongyuan Road, Huangpu District, SH
