China Shanghai International Arts Festival (CSIAF), which is hosted by the Ministry of Culture of the People’s Republic of China and organized by Shanghai Municipal People’s Government, is the only state-level International Arts Festival in China. Since 1999, CSIAF, driven by the concept of “innovation and development” with the emphasis on brand-effect development, has grown into a flagship project for cultural exchange of the country as well as one of the most influential festivals in the international art circles.
