A week-long "Contemporary Art Exhibition of China's Tibet" will be held in Kathmandu, Nepal, from Jan. 5 to 11.

"This is part of the activities to mark the golden jubilee year of the establishment of China-Nepal diplomatic ties," Ke Rong, managing director of Sun City Art Gallery and one of the organizers of the exhibition, said at a press conference.

On show will be 50 contemporary art works by renowned Tibetan artists.

A Tibetan artist group consisting of eight people, most of whom come from the Tibetan Arts Association, is scheduled to take part in the exhibition.

"They will make on-the-spot painting jointly with 10 Nepali artists on Jan. 6, at Shoyambhu Stupa of Kathmandu city, one of the world cultural heritage sites of Nepal," Ke noted.

"This will be the first art exhibition of China's Tibet in Nepal," said Deepak Sarkar, president of World Culture Net (WCN), a non-government friendship organization of Nepal, which is the partner organizer of the exhibition.
