What's New International Society in China In Beijing In the outskirt of Beijing is town called Sung-Zhuang. It is being developed in recent years into an international arts village. Many art galleries, artists studios flourished there. Thousands of artists congregated there. It is expected that art galleries and museums from different countries will establish branches there. International Society is collaborating with Beijing Museum of Modern Art in Song-zhuang on various projects. In Beijing proper, at the famous Chao-yang district, is International School for the Arts that is closely associated with International Society In Guangzhou International Society has launched a program to sponsor qualified Chinese students to study in American universities.
