The 1st International Contest of OLYMP'ARTS Press Conference ——Asia Venue

In order to actively respond to the initiative of the WOAC, the China Regional Executive Board of the OC set up an Asian venue in Beijing, China, and invited many well-known artists to  join and witness the success of the conference. "OLYMP'ARTS" has come to China as early as 2020, and has been preparing for the OLYMP'ARTS 2023 China Committee. When the press conference was held in Geneva, Switzerland, the live broadcast venues in various regions of Asia are also paying close attention to the movements of the United Nations and the WOAC. Mr. Zhou Changxin, the Executive President of the WOAC in China and famous contemporary artist, said that artist representatives from various art categories in China are ready and will actively participate in the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023, fully displaying the style of Chinese artists and promoting the process of world peace with the power of art, and to contribute to the construction of a beautiful planet with Chinese artistic power.

At the Asian venue, well-known leading artists in various areas said that this is a cause of "Achievements for the present, benefit in the future". In such a great era, great arts will inevitably be born. Chinese artists hoped that the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023 will serve as a good start, allowing the world to hear the voices of China, to see the images of China, and make art a bridge connecting China, the world and the future.

During the discussion session after watching the live from Geneva, Mr. Zhou Changxin, the Executive President of the WOAC in China, made connections with other sub-venues that joined the live broadcast online. He hoped that each region would give full play to their own strengths, fully mobilize the power of art, change themselves and influence others, so that more people could participate in the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023.

As the co-organizer of "OLYMP'ARTS", Ms. Lv Juan, an emerging overseas Chinese painter in Japan, has been committed to the promotion of the OLYMP'ARTS in Japan, and actively called on well-known local artists to work hard for the revival of "OLYMP'ARTS". She said that the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023 is an opportunity for people from all over the world to gather, communicate and discuss symbiosis. Especially in the current era, the communication between different cultures is more urgent and needed, and the exchange of art can bridge the differences between cultural exchanges. All of us can wander in the world of art and feel the beauty of art. I believe that the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023 will surely create miracles belonging to our era and shine in Geneva, Switzerland.

This international conference is just a starting point, and the 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023 is just the beginning. The road to revive "OLYMP'ARTS" in the future is full of difficulties and unknowns. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The WOAC has reason to believe that art can bring together artists from all over the world, because we always believe that the power of art can transcend national boundaries, races and religious beliefs, promote the integration and coexistence of the world, and create a better future for art and humanity. It is believed that 1st international Contest of OLYMP'ARTS 2023 will surely arouse a global art trend, make the world full of the beauty of art, and make the world more integrated!
