In collaboration with prominent art schools in and outside Beijing, the village committee recently sent out an invitation to artists around the world to contribute their creativity to enriching Banbidian's new landscapes. Submissions — works and public art plans — began on March 20 and lasts till April 15, and finalists will join other works to be displayed at several outdoor spots.

Art BBD was a cultural brand jointly launched by Banbidian and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2019 to explore projects and activities to turn the village a new destination of creativity.
