April Art Roundup – 798: Don't Miss These 34 Exhibitions Happening Now
Enjoying art is a year-round activity, but spring, with its beautiful weather and mild temps, is a particularly great time for walking around 798 Arts District. In this post, we've gathered a list of current exhibitions that are finishing up in April (or very early May). There is a mix of paid and free exhibitions, and most of the exhibitions can be found on the 798艺术区 mini program. For a few of the entries on our list, no ticket information was readily available. Address information for the galleries can be found by searching the name of the gallery in your preferred map, ride-hailing app or mini program.
Happy exploring!
