It encourages and gives voice to youth artists who pursue self-exploration and artistic creation; meanwhile, they could reflect upon social realities and cultural innovation. The project would consist of annual exhibitions on humanistic themes such as modernity and tradition, life and art, likewise imagination and creation. Thus, "Nanshan 138" intends to promote artistic production under a cultural framework, supporting Zhejiang Art Museum as an open space for humanistic dialogues in a more liberal and inclusive setting. In the long run, it prepares to drive forward an organic development system for young artists of contemporary art in Zhejiang.
