The 9th International Children's Creative Art Exhibition kicked off in Shanghai on July 16. Under the title "Dreams for the Future," this year's exhibition attracted young artists from more than 20 countries. Around 160 pieces were selected among hundreds of submitted artworks. Through a variety of media such as painting, calligraphy, photography, installation, and handicraft, children present their bright ideas about future cities and societies under different cultural backgrounds. Additionally, the expo features a special section of Donald Duck's animation design from Austria and a section dedicated to artwork made by children with special needs.(Photo: Lu Ting/GT)
