Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Visits China – Part I

BEIJING — When I learned the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) Collectors Circle was making its first trip to China so the members could acquaint themselves with the burgeoning art scenes in Shanghai and Beijing, I knew it would be the best of the best.

I’d once served on the Museum’s board, and I was living in Shanghai, so I offered to help. Since I’ve extensively covered the Shanghai art scene for New York Social Diary already, it was the Beijing leg of the tour I wanted to report on.

The well-honed trip included a dream schedule of meet-ups with top artists, visits to galleries and studios, and tours of historic sites and restaurants that could be the blueprint for any art lover’s visit.

This China trip was one of two annual excursions organized exclusively for the Collectors Circle, MCASD’s premier support group. Members enjoy access to a range of art institutions, attend private dinners and special events, and even get to vote on which works the Museum will acquire.
