How to Set Up an Art Exhibition
When you’ re displaying your own work, it’ s a real challenge to bring together so many different elements in a meaningful way,
Choose a specific theme
A good art exhibition should be characterized by a specific theme that ties the different pieces together and makes them feel like part of a larger whole. Think carefully about the message you want your exhibition to convey. It could be an image or phenomenon, a feeling or a certain visual technique.
Select your most impressive works
Pick out a few of your best or most impressive pieces to put on display. If the exhibition is meant to highlight your own work, you’ll need to have 30 individual pieces.
Do some research into other artists in your area and see whether they would be interested in your exhibition. Holding an exhibition with other artists will also allow you to reduce some cost. Be sure to give other artists proper credit for their works.

Most confirmed cases with travel history reported travel to countries in Europe and North America, rather than West or Central Africa where the monkeypox virus is endemic. This is the first time that many monkeypox cases and clusters have been reported concurrently in non-endemic and endemic countries in widely disparate geographical areas. Click here for more information.
WHO is collaborating with health authorities to prevent further spread of the disease. We are issuing guidance to help countries on surveillance, laboratory work, clinical care, infection prevention and control, as well as risk communication and community engagement to inform communities at risk and the broader general public about monkeypox and how to keep safe.
You can catch monkeypox through close contact with someone who has symptoms. Close contact includes skin-to-skin; face-to-face; mouth-to-skin; and mouth-to-mouth. You can also catch monkeypox from contaminated bedding, towels, surfaces or objects.
Protect yourself
• If someone you know is diagnosed with or has suspected monkeypox, avoid close contact with them
• Know the symptoms and check yourself regularly
• If you have symptoms, seek health advice and self-isolate while you wait to get tested
• Get vaccinated if it is available to you
• Clean and disinfect environments that could have been contaminated with the virus from someone who is infectious
• Stay informed about monkeypox in your area
• Have open, non-judgmental conversations with people you come into close contact with about any symptoms you or they may have
Protect others if you are recovering from monkeypox at home
• Isolate in a separate room
• Use a separate bathroom, or clean and disinfect it (with household disinfectant) after each use
• Clean hands frequently using soap and water or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects
• Avoid sweeping and vacuuming
• Use separate dishes, cups, bedding, towels and electronics

【推荐2】Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in these families.“They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,” Briggs said. For example, once when someone knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo (冰屋), damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad,” the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her observations (观察记录) in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children this ability? How do the Inuit turn irritable (易怒的) babies into cool-headed adults?
After reading Briggs' book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in search of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data (数据).
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don't shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to see yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization (殖民) over the past century is harming the tradition, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we' re training the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”

【推荐3】 Today, we are told, children don't spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TV — they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park.
Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids' development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”.
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “nature's playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says, “We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you, or maybe, like me, it made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. There's no age limit on enjoying yourself!

Gentle View
Paintings and sculptures from across the country are on display at the ongoing exhibition, Colors, at the Shandong Art Museum in Jinan, Shandong province. The event is held in celebration of International Women’s Day, which falls on Friday. The Shandong Artists Association launched the annual exhibition in 2017 to encourage women artists and to offer them a platform for their talents and their unique ways of viewing the world.
Cultural Peak
Ink artist Huang Binhong (1865 — 1955), considered one of the major figures of modern Chinese art, spent a lifetime carrying on his country’s cultural heritage while also maintaining a modern spirit and a universal outlook. Immortal Legacy is an ongoing exhibition at the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy that sheds light on Huang’s belief in cultural tradition. His landscape paintings indicate his appetite for the scenery of southern China, where he grew up and spent most of his life.
Timeless Beauty
In celebration of Chinese New Year, Immortal Brushwork of Danqing, the Tianjin Museum staged a long-term exhibition starting in early February, bringing together dozens of paintings ranging from the Song (960 — 1279) to Qing (1644 — 1911) dynasties. Examples include a portrait of an aristocratic woman by Leng Mei, a pioneering figure of Chinese portraiture in the 17th and 18th centuries. Leng’s paintings successfully convey the atmosphere and situations his subjects experienced, revealing their moods and emotions.

【推荐3】SANAA—Yemeni artist Rawya Ahmed opened her first personal exhibition in the Houthi—controlled Yemeni capital, Sanaa. Instead of visualizing the pains of war and destruction, the artist’s paintings offer a rare peaceful beauty, which she hopes will ease the suffering of the people who have been caught up in the bloody war.
“For me, it was a discharge of negative energy that I have got during the war. I used to feel annoyed but didn’t know how to get rid of the pressures. Luckily, I finally found that I could seek shelter in the beautiful things.” Ahmed says.
Ahmed’s exhibition is rare in Yemen since the war erupted in 2014. For most Yemenis, the most urgent problems are escaping the next air attack or finding the next meal for their families. But some artists, like Ahmed, are now trying to put the country in a positive light through their brushes and colors, and to find an escape for the people and themselves to momentarily forget the sounds of explosions and air attack.
In Ahmed’s paintings, she has tried to change the misery on people’s faces by using delightful colors.
“In the exhibition, we have special sections on paintings of famous people in the country, such as the Yemeni writer and poet Abdullah AIBaradouni, and the singer Abu Bakr Salem,” Ahmed says, adding that the artistic portraits of familiar faces can offer people a reminder of the time before the war erupted.
Many visitors who came to the exhibition believed it could relieve the despair inside the hearts.
Samah A-Wajih, one of the visitors who attended the exhibition, expressed her gladness about the paintings and wished all the world to see that there is still beauty, despite the destruction in the country.
“This certainly calls on the world that there are hope and life inside this war stricken country.” AI-Wajih says.
Abdul Wasea Al-Ahnoumi, an organizer of the exhibition, says, “Young men and women are looking, through their paintings, for love, peace and safety away from the war. In these drawings, you can feel the touches of a person who wants peace and a good life far off the crazy war that destroyed souls.”
