Art exchange exhibition is a celebration of culturally diverse arts by artists of all ages and nationalities from various countries. There are a total of 46 participating artists from 12 countries, China, France, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Maldives, Poland, Singapore, Sweden, USA, Thailand and Taiwan respectively.

This exhibition is organised by the Yunlin County Vision Development Association with the support of the Yunlin County Government and Yunlin County Cultural Affairs Bureau. Curators of the exhibition and the whole art exchange program are two established Taiwanese artists, Mr. Din Ren-Tong and Mr. Albert Wu with Taiwan’s esteemed print-making master, Professor Bill Chung, as the honourary advisor.
