Reliving the Grand Opening Ceremony of APICACH 2026: A Dynamic Confluence of Arts, Culture and Humanities ✨

Looking back to last week, 20 May 2026, the Grand Opening Ceremony of the 7th Asia-Pacific International Conference on Arts, Culture and Humanities (APICACH / 2026) was grandly unveiled at the Main Building Auditorium of Southern University College!

Meticulously organized by the Faculty of Art & Design, supported by IGSR, the ceremony gathered esteemed global dignitaries and scholars. On this momentous opening day, the conference raised its curtains with high intellectual momentum, immediately following up

with the 1st Keynote Session and the 1st Parallel Session, setting an extraordinary benchmark for the global scholarly discourse.

【Four Days of Multidimensional Art & Tech Experiences】 Beyond the rigorous academic presentations on Day 1, a series of interactive highlights, workshops, and innovative counters were integrated throughout the four-day conference, offering a holistic immersion into creativity and well-being:

【Children’s Art Exhibition】 Celebrating cultural inheritance across generations, the curated Children’s Art Exhibition brought pure, imaginative, and vibrant young artistic expressions into dialogue with contemporary academic art.

【Printmaking Workshop】 A hands-on creative sanctuary where participants experienced the tactile joy of traditional craftsmanship, exploring the raw charm of ink, carving, and paper pressing under expert guidance.

【Well-being Workshop】 Aligning with the conference’s core themes, the dedicated Well-being Workshop offered immersive mindfulness and expressive art healing interactions, allowing attendees to relax and rejuvenate amid a packed schedule.

【3D Printing Counter】 Merging technology with artistry, the popular 3D Printing Counter captivated crowds with live demonstrations of high-precision digital fabrication, showcasing how technology empowers the future of industrial design and visual arts.

【A Celebration of Friendship and Innovation】 The official launching segment on 20 May beautifully symbolized the establishment of an enduring bridge of scholarship and international friendship across the Asia-Pacific region. Our heartiest gratitude to all speakers, workshop conductors, and our dedicated conference organizing committee for making last week an unforgettable milestone!
