Art Scene Warehouse's large space was selected in 2003 and underwent a complete renovation of the former garment factory especially for the Gallery. The venue is Art Scene China's second venue in Shanghai. For information about the first venue, located in a quaint Shanghainese villa in Shanghai's French Concession area, visit: www.artscenechina.com.

Space: Art Scene Warehouse is a chic, minimalist space filled with avant-garde Chinese art by some of China’s most exciting contemporary artists. The “artsy” large and open 1,800 square metre space has 4.3 – 6 metre high ceilings and is probably the largest gallery in China. It is a stunning, modern backdrop for artwork: a cutting edge white-on-white gallery, where white, square edged Bauhaus-style furniture that looks like art itself is displayed against white walls. Artwork hangs between a neat colonnade of white pillars that runs in rows down the length of the warehouse, pausing here and there to create little enclaves.

Events: Art Scene Warehouse sometimes hosts private events for corporates and individuals. Walls within the venue can be moved to cater for events, with a maximum capacity of over 1,000 persons. In the past, the Art Scene Warehouse's venue has hosted events by such companies as Nokia and BMW, as well as charity events, fashion shows, product launches and the like.

Location: The Gallery is situated in the Suzhou Creek “Artists’ Quarter” of the city. This part of Shanghai has been rapidly gaining national and international prominence as the “artistic” part of Shanghai, with many artists’ studios nearby, etc.

Exhibitions: Art Scene Warehouse regularly holds new exhibitions. The 1,800 square metre size of the space makes the Gallery unique because it can stage large-scale important exhibitions of 10+ artists, much like a museum but in a private space.

Artists: Art Scene Warehouse presents a wide diversity of artists and artworks for visitors. The artists featured at the gallery range from famous and internationally exhibited Chinese contemporary artists exciting to younger and talented emerging Chinese artists. And the artworks range from oil and acrylic paintings to ink and gauche paintings to mixed media, photography, sculptures, digital video and installations. Some exhibitions at Art Scene Warehouse combine internationally reputed non-Chinese artists with Mainland and international Chinese artists – presenting an interesting opportunity for international artistic dialogue on a global stage.
