May 1-3: Art Beijing
This is more of a classy party that an all-night rager. But hey, intellectuals like to let loose too. Get dressed up, sip on some wine and ponder some of Asia's best artwork at this year’s Art Bejing. The event will highlight emerging East Asian artists with its additional theme of “Find Asia.” As such, Art Beijing is collaborating with prominent galleries in the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. But you can also expect masterpieces by well-known Western artists as diverse as Andy Warhol, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Andrei Milnikov.
Sun May 1-Mon May 2, 11am-7pm; Tue May 3, 11am-6pm; RMB100. National Agricultural Exhibition Center, see event listing for details.
