Over 20,000 creative exhibits caught audiences' eyes

On July 31, 2020, the 9th China Suzhou Cultural & Creative Cultural Industry

Expo opened at the Suzhou International Expo Center as scheduled. 11 branch

venues, 43 theme exhibition halls, 40,000 square meters area are all prepared

for the great show.

From July 31 to August 2, the three-day exhibition attracted more than 400

exhibitors from across the country. More than 20,000 products will be

displayed. At the launching ceremony, the "2020 New Handicraft Movement Award"

was also hosted, and the ceremony of the "Cloud Expo - a never-ending cultural

and creative trading platform" was also launched. People who love cultural and

creative ideas can join this "carnival" of cultural tourism by staying home,

according to the organizing committee of China Suzhou Cultural & Creative

Design Cultural Industry Expo.

Suzhou is "The Capital of Handicrafts and Folk Arts of the UN" and "Model City

of World Heritage". "Su Zuo" has a profound technical heritage and excellent

production. With the theme of "New Design, New Life, New Paradise", the 9th

expo will showcase and present the four major sections of "international

creative design works, international new handicraft movements, cultural and

tourism integration, and creative future industries". Three highlights: first

of all, the theme exhibition of "8:30 in Gusu" appeared in the expo,

comprehensively showing the mode of promoting the night economy development in

Suzhou, and showing the achievements of "Cultural Tourism+" leading the

high-quality development of night economy. Secondly, this year's expo will show

the "International Style" with the "China-Foreign Design Dialogue", and promote

the construction of Suzhou "Modern International Metropolis" through an

international perspective. At the expo, visitors can see that in conjunction

with the 2020 global anti-epidemic theme, artists use "Masks" as the main

material to create "Social Isolation Hall" and "Social Gathering Hall" to

reflect different feelings in the global environment. In addition, works by top

artists and designers from different cultural backgrounds and fields around the

world shine together. Thirdly, this year's expo can also be "Meeting in the

Cloud". An online platform brings together exhibitions, information, investment

promotion, studios, shopping malls and other functions to create a

"Never-Ending Expo".

What's more, the "New Handicraft Movement Award", the professional awards event

of the expo, was particularly eye-catching. In 2015, "New Handicraft Movement"

was launched with the rediscovery, rethinking and redesign of traditional

handicrafts, calling on traditional handicrafts to rejuvenate and show the

vitality of the times. In this new handicraft movement, the 10 major brand

awards and the 10 major works awards were selected. These works have injected

new momentum and set a new benchmark for the innovative development of

traditional handicrafts.
