The Graduation Art Fair, a signature aesthetic education initiative of the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University, returned this year alongside the Cultural Innovation Festival.

Featuring student exhibitions and creative activities, the event celebrated artistic knowledge, enriched campus culture, and met the growing demand for art collection among faculty, students, alumni, and art enthusiasts, further energizing the university's cultural landscape.

On June 27, 2025, the Graduation Art Fair & Cultural Innovation Festival commenced at the plaza in front of the Tsinghua University Art Museum.

Over 40 participants, ranging from undergraduate to doctoral candidates and alumni, showcased more than 1,000 original works across ceramics, glass, textiles, painting, sculpture, and other mediums. The exhibition highlighted not only their technical mastery but also boundless creativity and distinct artistic perspectives. The pieces garnered immense enthusiasm, with many selling out swiftly, reflecting the vibrant artistic atmosphere.

Spotlight on the Exhibition
Complementing the exhibition, hands-on workshops, such as printmaking and calligraphy, allowed attendees to experience traditional craftsmanship firsthand. These immersive activities deepened appreciation for intangible cultural heritage while fostering awareness of its preservation.

Interactive Workshops

Organized by the Academy’s Office of Student & Alumni Affairs and co-hosted by student councils, the festival provided a dynamic platform for creative exchange and talent showcasing.

As we continue this “Journey with Beauty,” the Academy remains dedicated to nurturing the next generation of artists and designers, embracing holistic education and lifelong appreciation for beauty while bridging tradition and innovation for a culturally enriched future.
