https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liu-shiming-sculpture-and-scholarship-dedication-tickets-332943592247Please join us on May 10, 5:00-6:30pm for a reception to celebrate a donated artwork by Chinese sculptor Liu Shiming and the newly-instated graduate scholarship from the Liu Shiming Art Foundation.
Liu Shiming (1926 - 2010) was a member of Central Academy of Fine Art's first generation of Chinese sculptors. He grounded his work in a Chinese local context, developing a folk art style within the Chinese tradition through ancient modeling methods.
On December 24, 2018, the Central Academy of Fine Arts established the Liu Shiming Sculpture Museum, which is dedicated to researching and investigating Liu’s artworks and their art historical meaning.
The Liu Shiming Art Foundation has generously donated to the development of the Ernest G. Welch School of Art & Design three-dimensional programs (Ceramics, Sculpture, and Textiles), at Georgia State University, with a new scholarship that supports graduate students in the medium.
