Arts, Culture & History

Making the most of Beijing's rich cultural heritage and the Center's extensive network of artistic luminaries, the Beijing Center galvanizes the possibility of new perspectives and builds a platform by promoting art and culture exchanges. Supported by the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Department of Music, and Columbia University Press, the Beijing Center provides a fertile staging ground for programs that enhance collaborative engagement between the University and China and deepen their understanding of the world.

The Beijing Center has hosted seminars, panel discussions, and workshops on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to children's art education, drama and theatre, design and architecture, and classical music recitals.
