Art now reaches a growing number of Chinese as it moves from museums and galleries to grass-roots communities.

Now, works of 30 artists are being shown at public venues and outdoor spaces in Xinxitang through April 19, a cultural and commercial destination that was a historic river town in Jiashan, in East China's Zhejiang province.

The artworks include paintings, sculptures, installations and animation.

The artists are all teachers from the country's leading fine art academies such as Li Xiangqun and Deng Guoyuan.
