In 2023, the 33rd Macao Arts Festival takes the theme “The Long Artistic Journey” and aims at promoting innovative expressions of our era through a range of selected exceptional art programmes, inviting the public to appreciate the beauty of art and look to the future with both a local focus and a global vision, while also exploring the diverse aspects of human existence reflected in different artistic genres. Inspired by the compass, the key visual of the event this year communicates the concept of “guiding the road forward and lighting up the hearts’ encouraging the public to take a life journey with art to enjoy brighter landscapes ahead.
