The Deqiu Shanghai International Illustration Art Festival is ongoing at the Deqiu Lixianggu Cultural and Creative Park in suburban Minhang District's Xinzhuang Industrial Park.

The festival, hosted by the district's culture and tourism bureau and the industry park's management committee, will run through July. It will be the longest illustration art event in Shanghai, with exhibitions, competitions, training and fairs.

It will feature 30 illustration classes and 35 exhibitions, and gather 100 enterprises and 500 illustrators with an illustrator training program, according to Zhao Yong, founder of the Deqiu Lixianggu Cultural and Creative Park.

Zhao said an area of about 100,000 square meters, including the Deqiu Lixianggu Cultural and Creative Park and Shanghai Heating Station Art Community, will be turned into an "illustration town." This will integrate resources and build up platforms for incubator related talent and make Shanghai a hot spot for the illustration industry.
