Rebranded Beijing Art Season persevered amid tariff and economic struggles
Briefly

This year's Beijing Art Week, now known as Beijing Art Season, featured a rebranding of its events including a gallery weekend and multiple art fairs. Notably, JingArt has transformed into Art021 Beijing, and the 798 gallery complex is now referred to as the 798 751 Art District. Despite a slowing market exacerbated by tariffs, galleries report decent sales and ongoing engagement from collectors, highlighting a resilient art community in Beijing. Events included Gallery Weekend Beijing and Beijing Dangdai, both reflecting the city’s expanding art scene post-pandemic.
Gallerists are working much harder to make sales happen-but there's still energy and interest. Conversations are happening, and we're staying engaged - it's not a desperate situation.
The Beijing market has definitely slowed down. We're definitely feeling the impact of tariffs. We were in the middle of selling works to the US when the new tariffs were announced.
