The founding Director of Beijing Center of the Arts, Ms. Weng Ling, had visited Arcosanti and Paolo Soleri in 2003, with the Young Leaders Forum group.
We were first contacted by BEIJING CENTER OF THE ARTS in the middle of July this year. Vice Director of Beijing Center of the Arts, Yipeng Jiang, visited Cosanti and Arcosanti in the middle of August to decide on Soleri artwork for the exhibition.
