Art Nova 100 is a high-end art platform that discovers and promotes young artists. Artists are selected for this distinguished program through expert nominations, the artists’ own applications and mutual recommendations, recommendations by foundations, and a public evaluation process. The final shortlist of young artists are invited to participate in the annual art activities of Art Nova 100, which include exhibitions and forums both in China and abroad, as well as a multi-channel artist promotion program. Art Nova 100 continues to cultivate a diverse community and set of resources for artists, curators, academics, and collectors, while in tandem providing a means to help young artists on the path to achieving their dreams.  

With its far-reaching vision, internationalized perspective, open mind, and spirit of inclusivity, Art Nova 100 grows together with young artists of meritorious artistic talent and potential. The project has worked hard to establish and perfect a young artist literature database, promote the influence of contemporary arts in society, and raise global awareness of youth art. Building and improving the interaction and communication between Chinese and foreign cultures and arts circles, Art Nova 100 seeks to make a positive contribution towards the creation of a healthy, orderly, and sustainable young artist ecology.

Australia China Art Foundation (ACAF) is glad to collaborate with Art Nova 100 to hold this group exhibition.
