Distinguished artists:
Sincere greetings from Changchun, the sculpture capital of China﹗
In order to vigorously flourish the world sculpture art and promote the development of urban sculpture construction, Changchun Municipal People’s Government has successfully held 12 sessions of international sculpture symposiums, two sessions of international sculpture conference, and one session of world sculpture conference since 1997. Up till now, more than 400 sculptors from 216 countries have created over 600 sculptures for the city, representing various artistic styles around the world. Changchun therefore has become a center and platform for creating world sculptures.
From late July to early September, 2012, Changchun Municipal Peoples’ Government will hold the 13th China Changchun (Jingyue Development Zone) Sculpture Symposium, with the theme of “Sports·Health·Life”, for further promoting international cultural exchanges, improving the cultural taste of Jingyue Development Zone as well as increasing the Zone’s international influence and popularity.
Changchun Jingyue Development Zone is located in southeast of Changchun city, covering an administrative area of 478.7 square kilometers. It is blessed with exceptional natural eco-tourism resources, such as Jingyuetan National Scenic Spot and Xinlihu National Water Conservancy Scenic Resort. The development zone also has broad space for urban construction, robust technological, educational and cultural resources, as well as strong foundations for high-tech industry. After more than ten years consistent construction and development, Jingyue Development Zone has become a new-style ecological culture city suitable for living, visiting and starting business. Now, Jingyue Development Zone has played an important role in the whole Changchun city’s economic development, urban construction and ecological prevention.
In recent years, Jingyue Development Zone has confirmed its overall strategic goal of constructing a “Jingyue Ecological City”. On the premises of protecting the ecological environment of 100 square kilometers renowned scenic spot and 200 square kilometers water conservation area, the development zone is striving to develop the modern service industry centered on “comprehensive trade and commerce service”, “science and technology incubation services”, “cultural creativity and education service,” and “tourism and leisure service” and construct Jingyue Development Zone into the “Ecological Center”, “Leisure Hub” and “High-tech Industry Nexus” of Changchun city as early as possible.
