Appreciating art is an activity that can be enjoyed throughout the year, but spring, with its pleasant weather and moderate temperatures, is especially ideal for exploring the 798 Arts District. In this article, we've compiled a list of current exhibitions wrapping up in April (or very early May). The selection includes both paid and free exhibitions, most of which can be accessed through the 798艺术区 mini program. For a few entries on our list, ticket information was not immediately available. You can find addresses for the galleries by searching the gallery names in your chosen map, ride-hailing app, or mini program.
Happy exploring!
