Greensboro Has Private Art Revival
GREENSBORO — North Carolina was recently home to an exhibition of more than 80 works of art by Chinese watercolor artist Guan Weixing. Guan’s work has been described as “inconceivable” and “watercolor magic.” His work has won several international awards and a book of his paintings, “Memories of Peking: South Side Stories,” has won several international illustration awards. Where did this exhibition by one of the world’s foremost watercolor artists take place? The North Carolina Museum of Art? A prestigious private museum? Actually, it took place in Greensboro’s ever-evolving arts district.
