The theme "Sound in the Sun" marks the Art Jingyang festival's third successive year in Jingyang, a district of Deyang in Sichuan province.

The art festival brings exhibitions, public art shows, workshops and lectures to establish close, long-term connections between artists, educators and grassroots communities.

The festival gathers the works of artists who have come to Jingyang from across the country and are inspired to create and participate in public art education.

Artworks are installed along the picturesque countryside roads not only to show how art can be integrated into the natural surroundings but also to contribute to tourism.

Launched in 2021, Art Jingyang is a joint effort of the local administration and the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

The festival aims to encourage artists, curators and other members of the art community to contribute works and ideas to the development of public education, culture and arts at the grassroots level and encourage the integration of culture and tourism.
