Art lovers, mark your calendars! The UCCA Center for Contemporary Art – China’s trailblazing hub for modern creativity – is launching its fourth museum, UCCA Clay, in historic Yixing this October. Known as the ‘City of Ceramics,’ Yixing is about to get a futuristic twist with this 2,400-square-meter space blending ancient craftsmanship and global innovation.
Located just two hours from Shanghai, the museum aims to spotlight ceramic art like never before. Think: workshops connecting local artisans with international artists
, exhibitions mixing centuries-old techniques with edgy modern designs, and a cultural bridge spanning from Jiangsu Province to the world stage.
Why does this matter? As traditional arts evolve, UCCA Clay wants to empower Yixing’s heritage while giving Gen Z creatives a new playground. It’s not just a museum – it’s a vibe check for cross-cultural collabs.
