“We hope that Art Week Shenzhen 2025 could echo Art Basel HK while creating Shenzhen’s influence in art circle,” expressed at an interview by Sun Qijie, general manager of business promotion and cultural affairs of the host of Art Week Shenzhen 2025.

“Art Week Shenzhen 2025 shares wide artistic coverage in the city. It betrays that almost all of the artistic organizations and artist studios of the city have been attracted to the Art Week. It is absolutely rare that an art week could keep so inclusive” expressed at an interview by Zhang Yuxing -- chairman of Academic Board of Shenzhen & Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism and Architecture (UABB). Art Week Shenzhen could exemplify the multi-polar art biology of Shenzhen. “Art should not only be an elegant and superior way of life, but keep closer to the life of majority people.” This term of Art Week is extraordinary in the exploration and penetration into the city’s art ecology, Zhang added.
At the opening ceremony of Art Week Shenzhen 2025, Qianhai Bonded Exhibition and Trade Center of Cultural and Art Works was inaugurated, symbolizing a new breakthrough in Shenzhen’s cultural and trading system innovation. The Center firstly had an exhibition themed “Spring Breeze, Tea and Pleasure”, at Sea World Culture and Arts Center (SWCAC). The exhibition featured over 10 pieces of bonded cultural and art works from Hong Kong. The masterpieces of Hong Kong celebrities had great appeal for the audience.
A particular part of Art Week Shenzhen 2025 should be “Artwalk”, during which 13 art guides would take the participants along 16 routes across the city, feeling the co-existence between the city’s contemporary art ecology and the urban cultural scenery while wandering around the urban streets and lanes and the natural mountains and waters.
In addition to the above mentioned, a series of other artistic activities are also being held during Art Week Shenzhen 2025, to get citizens immersed in the art carnival.
