The 13th China (Zhejiang) Arts and Crafts Expo and Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Creative Design Exhibition 2025

Since its inception in 2009, the China (Zhejiang) Arts and Crafts Expo has been successfully held twelve times, becoming the largest event in the arts and crafts industry of the province. In recent years, the expo has seen record numbers in showcased works, audience attendance, and overall scale, attracting over a million participants. It serves as an important window for promoting the revitalization and outreach of Zhejiang arts and crafts and is a key platform for the inheritance and development of this industry in the province. To celebrate China's excellent traditional culture, strengthen cultural confidence, promote the spirit of Zhejiang artisanship, and invigorate classic historical industries, the Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Industry Association will hold the 13th China (Zhejiang) Arts and Crafts Expo and Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Creative Design Exhibition from April 12 to April 14, 2025, in Yiwu, known as "the capital of small commodities in the world" and "the capital of China's arts and crafts industry trading". This year, the event will be upgraded with a more open approach and innovative expressions, telling the stories of Zhejiang arts and crafts.

As a major province for arts and crafts, Zhejiang boasts a long history, exquisite skills, and profound cultural connotation. Last year, the province launched the "Action Plan for the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Historical Classic Industries in Zhejiang", emphasizing the importance of balancing cultural inheritance and industrial improvement, while promoting modernization, internationalization, and sustainable development of classic historical industries. The expo will feature exciting highlights, including an exhibition of works from a hundred Chinese arts and crafts masters and a showcase of over ten thousand arts and crafts精品 from the province, alongside quality suppliers from the “Li Chu Zhe Jiang” brand.

This year’s expo also includes the new “2025 Arts and Crafts Creative Design Contest”, featuring over a hundred selected outstanding works aimed primarily at students and design enthusiasts from various institutions. Engaging activities such as hands-on crafts experience will be organized, allowing visitors to create under the guidance of masters.

With millennia of techniques coming together in Zhejiang, the 13th China (Zhejiang) Arts and Crafts Expo and Zhejiang Arts and Crafts Creative Design Exhibition is set for April 12, 2025, at Yiwu International Expo Center. We look forward to seeing you there!
