SHANGHAI, Oct. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **A report from InJiangsu.**

The Shanghai stop of the "Youth Painting Contest" International Youth Art Exhibition
opened on March 21, 2026 at the Art Museum of Heping Park in Hongkou District, Shanghai.
Under the theme "Painted Together in Shanghai, Art Inspires Sister Cities," the 
event brought together nearly 100 Chinese and international young people from Shanghai
and Jiangsu, alongside experienced art teachers and inheritors of intangible cultural
heritage, to create a cross-regional, cross-cultural celebration of youth art exchange.

The touring exhibition featured outstanding works from international schools in 
Shanghai, including Dehong and Dulwich, as well as selected entries collected by
the "Youth Painting Contest" from home and abroad over the years. The display showcased
both the artistic accomplishments of young people from Jiangsu and the diverse, 
inclusive creativity of Shanghai’s international schools, offering a vivid example
of artistic dialogue among youth across borders.

At the opening ceremony, Chinese and international art teachers from Shanghai and
Jiangsu held a dialogue on "Eastern and Western Aesthetic Education," achieving 
a threefold integration of international education and traditional culture, and 
of artistic creation and intangible cultural heritage.

The "Youth Painting Contest" International Youth Art Exhibition is a well-known 
international youth painting exchange brand from Jiangsu. Since its launch, it has
connected with numerous international sister cities around the world and has become
an important platform for showcasing young people’s artistic talent and promoting
cultural exchange between China and other countries.

By coming to Shanghai, the "Youth Painting Contest" further expands new paths for
international artistic exchange among young people, injecting youthful energy into
cultural co-building and sharing in the context of Yangtze River Delta integration.
In the future, the contest will continue to use art as a medium to connect more 
sister cities at home and abroad, helping young people grow together through cross-
cultural dialogue.
