The exhibits have been divided into six categories – award-winners, traditional Chinese paintings, oil paintings, woodblock paintings, artistic design, and composite paintings.

"It's a treat to see such a large-scale exhibition, which not only allows me to understand the city's culture from a different perspective but also broadens my horizons by expanding my professional knowledge. Especially in the use of colors, I will be more daring and personalized," noted Sun Haowei, a visitor from Shandong province.
