The art festival runs through three major chapters: "You are a shining star", "I understand your world", and "Lift you up with love". Through main stage concerts, cave performances, and artistic co creation experiences, it cleverly integrates various art media such as music, painting, handicrafts, and coffee. During the event, children with autism (Xingbao) interacted with professional artists and volunteers on the same stage, resonating with music and engaging in dialogue between colors. What is particularly touching is the "Love Charity Photography of Star Treasure Works" segment, where more than 20 paintings created independently by children or jointly completed with artists are presented one by one,Every color is their silent yet powerful expressionOn site, there was a surge of love and enthusiastic bidding, which is not only a sincere recognition of children's artistic talents, but also a vivid portrayal of social tolerance and warm support.
