“Seasons of Prosperity” is The Venetian’s annual celebration that welcomes Chinese New Year with an array of entertainment. Among the admission-free events on offer is the “Seasons of Prosperity” 3-D light and sound spectacular, which beams New Year images onto the façade of The Venetian Macao.
The festival also includes a cultural exhibition of monkey sculptures under the title of “Creative Creatures – Art and the Chinese Zodiac.” The project returns in 2016 in support of local art project, “Anno Simius.” A total of 25 local artists have each hand-decorated a fiberglass monkey in their own inimitable style. Of the 25 monkey sculptures that will be on display to the public, 13 will be at Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao, including the outdoor lagoon area at The Venetian Macao and the Bridge of Stars, from February 3–22. The other 12 will be on display at other local attractions from February 3 to March 8. From February 23, the 13 sculptures previously displayed at Sands Resorts Cotai Strip Macao will be moved to locations around the city to be exhibited until March 8.
The “Seasons of Prosperity” opening ceremony was officiated by Maria Helena de Senna Fernandes, Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office, and Dr Wilfred Wong, President and COO of Sands China.
