As always, our beautiful city is full of events and goings-on, especially with Beijing Design Week 2015 at its peak (these are our BJDW recommendations), but art exhibitions are easily overlooked as there are so many opening and closing, it can be easy to miss them.

These are our selections for those looking for places to soak up art during the next few weeks. Make sure to get there before the exhibitions close!

Artists at Play
Artists at Play is a group exhibition from Beijing artists Wang Guofeng, Zhou Wendou, Ma Sibo, Wang Lijun, Tian Qi, and Sun Yitian. Work displayed covers all genres, focusing on fun and leisure.

Out of the Box!

Paparazzo of the Anonymous
Paparazzo of the Anonymous by world-renowned Israeli photojournalist Alex Levac is an exhibition with some of Levac's most famous pieces, taken in different cities throughout Israel, curated by Shosh Dagon.

Julia Hofmann: Blurred
Newly rebranded Gulou favorite Zarah presents Julia Hofmann’s work, focusing on the human existence: searching, trying, worrying, and questioning.
