Wuli Art Space in iPark, an art gallery located on the first floor of the Leo Building B, Wuxi (National) Software Park in Xinwu district, Wuxi, opens its inaugural exhibition on April 11.

Covering a total area of 900 square meters, the exhibition features more than 50 selected works from Modern Art Museum Jiangsu's collection and will run until April 25. The artworks, including oil paintings, prints, calligraphy, and photography, explore a diverse range of themes such as technological innovation, rural vitalization, and everyday life.

A notable highlight of the exhibition is a personal showcase of paintings by Shen Xitong, an autistic artist. After seven years of artistic therapy and professional family support, Shen has shown significant improvement in his condition.

Ding Menglan, director of the art space, said the idea of building an art museum within the software park is to empower those working here by allowing them to access, experience, and appreciate art amid their busy work schedules. With over 30,000 young employees, the Wuxi (National) Software Park, also known as iPark, is now infused with greater cultural vitality.

According to Ding, the art space plans to launch a program inviting artists to explore the rich cultural and tourism resources and beautiful environment of Xinwu district and create works inspired by their experiences. In addition, it will host a market featuring curated art products, offering visitors an enjoyable shopping experience. The space's tea and coffee lounge will regularly organize workshops, art salons, pop-up markets, and small concerts to meet the community's social needs.
