The Boston International Art Exhibit (BIAE) was founded to showcase the rich cultural heritage and creative power of Boston to the world. Co-sponsored by the Mayor of Boston, TTC Student Union, and Hangzhou International Communication Center, it aimed to promote international art exchange. As the first such event organized by the Boston City Government, it provided an international stage for young artists from Hangzhou and Boston, exhibiting their unique perspectives and skills. The exhibition presented the essence of Hangzhou culture to Boston citizens, allowing them to appreciate the art and feel the charm of Songyun culture. It promoted exchanges and cooperation between Boston and Hangzhou in the art level, building a new model of cooperation and exchange between global friendship cities. Through this platform, young artists from both cities learned from each other, inspiring more creativity and enthusiasm. It also allowed foreign friends to understand and appreciate the unique charm of Hangzhou culture, expanding its international influence.
