The RedBox Art Guide | Beijing is the first pocket-sized insider’s guide that allows you to explore the sprawling art districts, museum-like warehouses, luxury developments, intimate courtyards and private salons that comprise the capital’s flourishing art scene. This compact, bilingual publication is perfect for art enthusiasts, collectors, sophisticates, and creatives interested in exploring China’s largest art community.
We have hand-picked a selection of galleries, museums and other public art venues that consistently meet high standards of professionalism and demonstrate a dedication to presenting thoughtful, well-curated and engaging exhibitions. Despite our efforts to provide updated information, it is best to call venues directly as schedules are subject to change.
The RedBox Art Guide series is created by RedBox Studio, an independent art space and graphic design company that focuses on projects related to contemporary Asian art.
