Theme Event

The Artist in Residence programme invites high-calibre artists with an international perspective to campus for a period of 5-10 days or 1-2 months to create and share their art. The programme offers participants the opportunity to meet masters and experience the beauty of art masterpieces up close and ‘in person’.

The Artist in Residence programme usually consists of an exhibition or performance, a workshop or a creative salon conversation or a combination of these in order to present a panoramic view of the artist's work.

The programme is designed to inspire UNNC community members by presenting the artist's work along with the sharing of their motivations and creative processes.

UNNC ARTS FEST showcases the diversity and beauty of art at UNNC. The festival brings high-quality art resources and experiences to UNNC community, with multiple exhibitions of guest and student artists delivered through a variety of media. Performances, talks and unique art experiences are delivered all across the campus. The shared enjoyment in the appreciation and practice of art is had by students and staff alike.

This celebration of creativity is growing every year as the ARTS FEST team uncovers opportunities and platforms for art at UNNC. Music, dance, fine arts, film, photography, and drama are all featured, each showcasing its unique beauty. Students are encouraged to actively participate in group art creation, experiencing contemporary and traditional aesthetics first hand.

UNNC ARTS FEST creates a great sense of community between staff, family members and students through art production and appreciation.

The UNNC Spring Symphony Concert is an annual music concert presented by the UNNC Symphony Orchestra, which has been successfully held for many years. As one of the highlights of the UNNC Art Troupe’s activities, the members of the symphony orchestra bring their best works and invite the audience for a spring date.

The concert features a variety of performance forms, including orchestral music, vocal music, and instrumental music. The wind music is melodious, the string music is lively, and the music presents a youthful chapter of poetry, allowing friends to enjoy together.

The Spring Symphony Concert is not only a music extravaganza, but also an opportunity to showcase the art of the UNNC. Since 2023, the Spring Symphony Concert has stepped out of the campus and brought unforgettable memories of the UNNC Symphony to the citizens of Ningbo. And in 2024, the Spring Symphony Concert partnered with students from Central Conservatory of Music to deliver outstanding performances of classical music.

The Arts Centre aims to close the distance between the artist and the audience.

The Arts Centre regularly invites outstanding artists from various art fields to campus to share their personal connections with their craft. Our community members are invited to listen to these stories behind the works and experience the diverse interplay of art, culture and life.

The ArtScape section is dedicated to helping UNNC community members to connect with a wide range of artistic expressions.

In this section, participants will have the opportunity to appreciate different fields of art, to experience the artistic atmosphere, to interact with refined art, to acquire their own keys to understanding art and to develop a high aesthetic sensibility.  

 

 

The Arts Centre also organises interactive activities. These activities not only provide community members knowledge of Arts Centre events but also allow them to actively participate in the art experience, enhancing the creative culture throughout the campus.

The staff of the Arts Centre make continuous efforts to bring new ideas to life in fun and dynamic ways. By integrating the concept of ‘art as life’ into the campus, the Arts Centre engages more people in the journey, the charm and the infinite possibilities of art.
