Young Chinese artists now have more opportunities to publicly show their works as Yishu 8 in Beijing has created a new award for fresh Chinese art graduates.

The award winners receive the opportunity to work at the Yishu 8 studio for 2 months and hold their own solo exhibition, along with receiving a cash prize from the Hermes Foundation.

For this year's event, 12 art graduates from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) were chosen from a wide selection of graduates. Their works are now on display at Yishu 8, where the award ceremony was held on Tuesday.
