The "New Changsha, Art World – International Urban Digital Art Forum" and the "Changsha Impression" Metro Space Digital Art Exhibition kicked off at the Fine Arts Academy of Hunan Normal University on November 5, 2022. It was sponsored by the Publicity Office of the CPC Changsha Municipal Committee and the Media Arts Center of Changsha, and hosted by the Fine Arts Academy of Hunan Normal University and the Hunan Tianwen Metro Media Co., Ltd.

The event invited Chinese, British, and German urban media art scholars to carry out international urban digital art exchanges. It will hold a one-month "Children's Painting about Changsha" special digital art exhibition and an international design master "Changsha Impression" special poster exhibition at the Changsha Metro Digital Art Museum.

Changsha, as the "City of Media Arts" in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network, is well-known all over the world. Facing the opportunities for urban development in the digital era, the event aimed to promote effective export of Changsha's digital art and culture; push forward the building of an international cultural and creative hub; and, take advantage of the linkage of universities, primary, and secondary schools to cultivate dynamic force for Changsha's urban cultural construction. This would give full play to the public cultural publicity function of the Changsha Metro Digital Art Museum, and highlight its digital aesthetic education characteristic as Changsha's new cultural landmark.
