Diplomats visit local art scene

During the 28th Macao Arts Festival (MAF), the MSAR invited consuls from a number of countries accredited to the Hong Kong and Macau SARs to participate in a tour organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) on Tuesday.

The delegates, accompanied by the IC Vice President Kent Ieong and IC personnel, visited the exhibition “The Art of Zhang Daqian” at the Macao Museum of Art.

This exhibition features the Sichuan Museum’s collection of Zhang Daqian’s masterpieces from his early years, including his replicas of the murals during the years in Dunhuang, landscape paintings, portraits and line drawings, letters written and seals used before and after his trip to Dunhuang.

The delegation then headed to the Macau Design Centre, situated in an old factory, to gain an overview of the region’s cultural and creative industries and learn about their development and features.

According to a statement issued by the bureau, the group, along with IC president Leung Hio Ming, also attended the concert “Resonance through Space-Time” at the Venetian Theatre.

The concert was performed by Serbian violinist Nemanja Radulovic with the young Spanish conductor Jose Luis Gomez and the Macao Orchestra.
