Macao is a city with special status in China. It not only plays an important role in China’s economy, but also showcases the integration of Chinese and Western cultures. Since its handover and return to China, Macao has gained new life, and the promotion of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) has ushered in a great leap forward in opportunities for art and culture. From an historic and cultural perspective, Macao's unique advantages have made it an important part of the development of culture and art in the GBA.
The Greater Bay Area Young Artists Scheme focuses on promoting Chinese culture, especially that of the GBA, by providing a platform for young artists in the region. The aim of the event is to demonstrate the inclusivity of the cultural industries in the GBA and highlight the potential of the younger generation through showcasing their painting and photography.
