Free admission
Winds of influence from every corner of the
world, carrying the seeds of creativity on their breath, whisper the promise of
a bountiful spring harvest for Macau’s fertile land. The collected fruit of
local artists will be offered to the public eye under the auspices of what is
considered to be the city's most important annual exhibition of local art.
The Tap Seac Gallery has gathered together the
ideas of more than 160 Macao artists who scoured the earth in their
search for the new roots of contemporary life. Over 350 submissions
passed before the exhibition's panel of five experts, and they have sifted the
finest flour from the mills of Macao's creative industry.
Painting, calligraphy, design, photography and
video figure among the many art forms represented in this year's display, with
sculpture making a first time appearance and drawings represented in the
greatest number.
The Annual Visual Art Exhibition has continued to
cultivate the growth of the new talent emerging from its ranks and promoted
awareness and appreciation of local art in Macao.
