artWALK Beijing is a monthly gathering for the Beijing community to explore and engage in the city's vibrant contemporary art scene. The event is free and open to the public with specific aims to introduce Beijing's art districts to a broader cross section of the local community and to provide a social platform on which to experience the explosion of creativity on display in these unique cultural venues.

Our inaugural event will be held in the 798 Dashanzi Art District and will provide special after hours access to selected galleries and art spaces along with a free reception with drink and live entertainment.

TIMES: 6-8pm Extended gallery hours at: - Chinese Contemporary - Galeria Continua - Long March Space - Paris Beijing Photo Gallery - Red T Gallery - Timezone 8 Editions

• Each artWALK will provide a map and descriptions of the selected art venues for each viewer to independently explore on their own. Maps can be picked up at any of the participating artWALK venues or emailed to you if you register for the artWALK mailing list.
