This activity also officially kicked off the prelude to the improvement of the environmental landscape of the central green space of Wanli.

The exhibition is divided into four themes: "Winter Warm Light" theme aims to bring winter joy and warmth to the public through light art. "Public Participation, Co-creation" combines community IP collection, community practices from art schools, and children's New Year's wishes for the Year of the Tiger. "Sustainable environmental protection" is the eternal theme of human beings, emphasizing that garbage classification can make the best use of it. "Tribute to Nature" represents the superior natural environment to provide us with a beautiful home, but also becomes a place of inspiration for creators, artists have paid tribute to nature with their works.

It is understood that the Shanghai Creative Design Workers Association provided academic support for this art season, and teachers and students from Shanghai Vocational College of Arts and Crafts, Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University, Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts and Wanli City Experimental Kindergarten participated in the design and production of works. Among them, the inflatable device little tiger "Shuai Shuai" originated from a children's painting by Sun Zhenghao, a child of wanli city experimental kindergarten, and the 61CREATIVE studio made it into a three-dimensional inflatable toy, which became a co-creation product between the artist and the children, and welcomed the New Year of the Tiger. "Wanli IP Good Neighbor" comes from the Wanli Community IP Collection Activity, and many community residents and art institutions participated in the design of IP. Artist Li Jiaxi re-created on this basis, and worked with everyone to depict the current situation of Wanli and imagine the future of Wanli.

"Public art is 'pan-media', 'local', and even more 'public'. The use of soft activities to co-create with the community public, the use of community space as a 'wallless art museum' for artistic practice, and the establishment of interactive bonds with the public through interactive communication and co-creation are the remarkable characteristics of the new type of public art. Liu Yi, curator of this art season, said, "I hope that the '12 Pavilion Lighting Art Season' of Wanli Community can become a brand IP of Wanli, and look forward to more public and artist participation in the future to create, enjoy, share and resonate together in Wanli." ”
