As an important part of the 2025 CAFAM Academic Series, the "Cultural Engine - CAFA International Art Museum Summit" will be held at tCAFA Art Museum in the afternoon of March 30, 2025. As a gathering place and display window for culture, the art museum not only undertakes the functions of displaying and collecting artworks, but also actively participates in shaping the vitality of the social economy. As an important carrier of culture, by holding high-level art exhibitions and activities, it continuously injects impetus into the inheritance and development of culture. The art museum is a promoter of cultural innovation, a hub for cultural dialogue, and an experimental ground for future innovation. This summit forum hopes to take "Cultural Engine" as the theme and focus on three major topics: "Diversified Curating and Knowledge Renewal", "Regional Dialogue and Global Collaboration", and "Technology Empowerment and Innovation Strategies", to discuss the development opportunities and challenges of art museums in the new era.
