The cultural and creative industries is booming in mainland China recent years, following with the launch of well-equipped performance and exhibition venues as well as different kinds of arts festivals. There has been an increasing demand for art performances. While many art groups and artists would like to bring more great works into mainland China, they hesitate because of the lack of understanding on its market, system and network.
