On January 11-15, Shen Yun Performing Arts brings its unique style of story telling back to the David H. Koch Theater at New York's Lincoln Center. In six short years, Shen Yun has created a world-wide phenomenon in classical Chinese performing arts. For the 2012 season, the three touring companies of Shen Yun will visit 130 cities around the world. Using the medium of classical Chinese dance, Shen Yun brings stories from Chinese history and literature to life on stage. Accompanied by an orchestra that blends Chinese and Western instruments, along with costumes and backdrops that recreate Chinese landscapes and heavenly realms, Shen Yun takes the audience on a magical journey through China's history and geography. As Shen Yun's production and media sponsor, NTD invites you to come discover China without ever leaving home!

Winning Pieces from NTD's Painting Competition on Exhibit
NTD Television's bi-annual International Chinese Figure Painting Competition awarded this year's winners at the Salmagundi Art Club in New York City on November 28. Fifty-one paintings selected from among more than 140 submissions were put on exhibit from November 28 through December 3 at Salmagundi. On the opening night of the exhibition, Fred Ross, chairman of ArtRenewal.org, made an appearance together with 30 participating artists from around the world.
The competition was created for artists of Chinese descent to express traditional virtues and values through classical Western realistic painting methods. Since it began in 2008, it has provided a platform for classically trained artists to shine. "Creating a realistic painting is a painstaking and often lonely process. In a world filled with modern art, we thank NTD for redirecting the focus back on meaning, form and skill. The classical method is well worth preserving," said Gold Medal winner Michelle Chen at the awards reception.
