Novel ideas abound at this year's Shenzhen art expo. The event which opens in ten days can be enjoyed in several designated venues.

The No.3 Art Gallery at Shenzhen University is one of the venues for the Shenzhen art expo. Transformed from a disused factory, the gallery houses twenty three art studios for artists on campus. When the art expo opens, viewers may visit the studios and talk to the artists. Organizers want to promote art at university.

Shenzhen Musical Instrument City is another venue of the Shenzhen art expo. A piano museum, home to over fifty antique pianos has been completed and awaits the coming of visitors. Exhibits include a piano made in 1798, with only 61 keys. Today's pianos have 88 keys. When the Shenzhen Art Expo opens, this will be the setting for concerts, featuring the antique instruments.
