Portland Art Museum Presents: China Design Now

Portland Art Museum Presents: China Design Now


October 10, 2009 - January 17, 2010

China Design Now explores the recent explosion of critically compelling design and architecture projects created in China, contextualizing the impact of rapid economic development on these projects in three of the country’s major cities—Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. This immersive, multi-sensory exhibition captures a dynamic phase in China, as it opens up to global influences and responds to the hopes and dreams of its new urban middle class.


Free Museum Family Day: Sunday, November 8, 12:00-5:00 pm


The third in an ongoing series of free family days will feature Chinese dance, music, and food, along with art-making activities inspired by the three cities featured in China Design Now. Visitors of all ages can build their own cities using recycled materials provided by the School and Community Reuse Action Project (SCRAP).


Museum admission on November 8 and participation in Museum Family Day is free for all visitors.


If you or your family cannot make this free day but are interested in joining an FCC tour group on a weekend ($11.00 adults; Free 0-17), please e-mail Kelly Hagele at idahoretreat@netscape.net with number of attendees (both adult & kid). Tour dates will depend upon group size.
