As the work of the Art Committee gradually got on track, Qin Tian and Lu Wan began to plan more art activities and projects.

They know that if the Arts Council is to truly play its role, it must constantly innovate and attract more community residents to participate.

At a meeting, Qin Tian proposed a new idea: "I think we can try to hold a community art competition to encourage residents to actively participate and show their talents."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Lu Wan added: "We can also set up some awards for encouragement. At the same time, we can also invite some professional artists and critics to serve as judges to improve the authority and fairness of the competition."

With the joint efforts of everyone, the planning of the community art competition is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Qin Tian and Lu Wan used their spare time to carefully formulate competition rules, selection criteria and award settings.

They also publicize through various channels to attract more community residents to participate.

On game day, the community center was bustling with activity.

The art competition was in full swing in the spacious and bright hall of the community center. The entire venue was carefully decorated to appear elegant and artistic.

Various entries are hung in an orderly manner on the walls. The oil paintings are rich in color and have distinct layers, the watercolor paintings are light and agile, the sculptures are full of three-dimensionality, and the handicrafts are even more ingenious and amazing.

The contestants carefully placed their works on the designated booth, and every piece of work was like their child, cared for with utmost care.

They waited quietly on the sidelines, with both anticipation and nervousness in their hearts, hoping that the jury and the audience would give them affirmation.

Qin Tian stood at the entrance of the hall, warmly greeting every visitor as a host.

His face was filled with pride and joy, as if this moment was the realization of his long-held dream.

Lu Wan, on the other hand, was like a careful conductor, constantly shuttled among the crowd, coordinating every aspect of the entire event to ensure that everything went on in an orderly manner as planned.

The moment for the opening speech came. Qin Tian picked up the microphone, his voice echoed in the hall, and expressed his most sincere welcome to every resident and guest present: "Dear friends, welcome to the first art festival in our community.

This competition is not just a place to showcase your outstanding talents. The platform is an excellent opportunity to learn from each other and exchange experiences. Let us join hands to spend this wonderful day together to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our community in the field of art.”

The judging panel is composed of authorities in the local art world. They use their professional vision and rigorous scoring standards to carefully evaluate each work.

The audience freely shuttled around the exhibition hall. They either stopped to admire, or communicated in low voices, and occasionally had in-depth discussions with the artists.

A young painter stood in front of his masterpiece and told the audience about his creative inspiration.

His paintings capture the imagination with their vibrant colors and unique themes.

The audience stopped to admire it, immersed in the gorgeous colors and profound artistic conception.

One of the viewers couldn't help but admired: "Your work is really amazing! The use of color is so bold and creative. I am very curious, can you share your creative process?"

The painter responded with a smile: "Of course. This painting is inspired by the vibrant spring garden in our community. I try to express the vitality of spring and the diversity of life through the collision and fusion of colors. Every stroke of the brush Everything is a loving tribute to and exploration of natural beauty.”

At the same time, in another corner of the exhibition hall, a handicraft maker was showing everyone her exquisite weavings.

The exquisiteness of her skills and the delicacy of her works amazed everyone present.

A group of curious children gathered around her, observing her every move attentively.

One of the little girls blinked and asked, "Auntie, how did you make this? Can you teach me?"

The craftsman knelt down and said gently to the little girl: "Of course, dear. This knitting is knitted bit by bit with wool and knitting needles. In fact, knitting is not difficult to learn, as long as you have enough You will definitely learn it with patience and care.”

After saying that, she picked up the yarn and knitting needles in her hands and started to demonstrate to the children.

The children stared at her hands intently, fearing to miss any detail.

Their eyes sparkle with curiosity for new things and eagerness to learn.

As the competition progressed, the judges began an intense scoring and discussion session.

Qin Tian and Lu Wan also gathered aside and nervously waited for the moment when the results were announced.

They know that this moment is crucial to every contestant, because it not only represents honor and recognition, but also the best reward for their hard work.

Finally, after a heated discussion, the judging panel tallied up the scores of the contestants and prepared to announce the winners.

The chairman of the jury walked to the center of the stage with a microphone in hand. The audience immediately fell silent, and all eyes were focused on him.

He cleared his throat and began to announce: "After careful review by the jury, we selected the winner of this competition based on various factors such as creativity, skills, completion, and audience feedback."

He paused, looked around, and then said: "The third prize winner is Xu Kaijie." He read out the names one by one, and bursts of applause broke out from the audience.

Qin Tian held Lu Wan's hand nervously, "Do you think we have hope?" he asked.

Lu Wan responded with a smile: "No matter what the result is, we have won the process. Seeing everyone so happy, isn't that what we want?"

The chairman of the jury went on to announce the winner of the second prize, and applause broke out again.

Then he took a deep breath and said loudly: "The first prize in this competition was won by the talented young painter Zhao Xiaofeng!" Thunderous applause broke out from the audience, and the young painter was stunned for a moment, and then With a huge smile on his face, he walked up to the stage to receive his award.

The moment he received the certificate, Zhao Xiaofeng's heart was filled with shock and joy.

He has loved painting since he was a child, but he never thought that his works would receive such high honors on such a stage.

Standing on the stage, facing the thunderous applause of the audience, he felt an unprecedented recognition and pride.

He cleared his throat and began to deliver his acceptance speech: "Thank you very much to the judges for their recognition, and also to Qin Tian and Lu Wan for setting up such a display platform for us. Being able to stand here today is not only my personal glory, but also my personal glory." It’s a way of giving back to my family, my friends and everyone who has supported me. I hope to continue to let more people feel the beauty of art through my paintbrush in the future.”

As Zhao Xiaofeng finished his words, the audience once again gave warm applause. Many people were moved by the talent and humility of this young artist.

The atmosphere at the venue was warm and inspiring.

Qin Tian and Lu Wan looked at each other and smiled. They knew that such an event was not just a competition, but an important way to inspire community residents to pursue art and a better life.

After the game, the lobby of the community center was still bustling with activity.

Residents gathered together to discuss their favorite works, while participating artists were asked about their inspiration and techniques.

Qin Tian and Lu Wan were busy communicating with everyone, collecting feedback, and thinking about how to further improve future activities.

In one corner, Lu Wan was talking to an elderly resident.

The resident is a retired teacher in the community who has always had a deep interest in art.

"Lu Wan, you did a really great job. This event not only enriched our cultural life, but also gave many young people like Zhao Xiaofeng the opportunity to showcase their talents." The old teacher said with appreciation.

Lu Wan responded modestly: "It is the joint efforts of everyone. We also hope that through such activities, art can truly enter everyone's life and let everyone feel the joy of creating beauty."

Qin Tian joined their conversation and said to the old teacher: "We plan to hold more various art activities in the future and hope to get more guidance and suggestions from you."

The old teacher nodded and looked very happy: "I am very willing. Art is priceless wealth and should be enjoyed by everyone. If you young people have this heart, the cultural life of the community will definitely become richer and richer."

In the evening, after the event, Qin Tian and Lu Wan summarized the event in a small conference room in the community center.

They compared the previously set goals and actual implementation, and recorded in detail successful experiences and areas for improvement.

"Although today's competition was successful, we still have a lot to learn and improve." Lu Wan analyzed carefully, while she was flipping through the feedback form in her hand.

“We need to think about how to use the space more efficiently and how to allow everyone involved to be more involved and experience the entire event.”

Qin Tian nodded in agreement and added: "Yes, we also need to consider the diversity of artistic activities. For example, we can try to introduce more types of art forms, such as digital art, street art, etc., as well as artistic expressions from different cultural backgrounds , making the activities more colorful.”

Lu Wan thought for a while and then said: "In addition, we can make more use of social media and online platforms for promotion and interaction. This can not only increase the visibility of the event, but also allow community residents who cannot attend the event in person to participate. ”

"Indeed, we can consider setting up a virtual exhibition room so that art works can be appreciated by more people without geographical restrictions." Qin Tian thought of a possible technology application, "We can also use VR (virtual reality) technology to allow Users can experience the live atmosphere at home.”

The two discussed and recorded all their ideas and suggestions.

They know that the introduction of these new ideas and technologies will require more research and preparation, but are excited about further enriching the cultural life of the community.

After the meeting, Qin Tian and Lu Wan decided to start a small-scale pilot project to test the feasibility of new technologies and ideas.

They plan to start with a simple online art exhibition and gradually expand to a more comprehensive virtual experience.

"We can start by inviting artists from the community and let them upload their works to the online platform, and then invite community residents to visit and vote online." Lu Wan planned in detail.

"After this pilot is successful, we can gradually introduce more interactive elements and technical support based on feedback, such as VR experience sites, and even consider doing some online workshops for art creation." Qin Tian is full of expectations for this project.

They spent the next few weeks preparing for the online art exhibition.

Work with the technical team to develop the platform, communicate with community artists about uploading works, and communicate with community residents to ensure they can easily access and participate in this new project.

Finally, the first online art exhibition was successfully launched.

After receiving invitations via email and social media, community residents can easily visit this virtual exhibition room, enjoy a variety of wonderful works of art, and support their favorite works by clicking to vote.

The response to the exhibition exceeded Qin Tian and Lu Wan's expectations.

Many residents said that this new way of participation allows them to feel the cultural atmosphere of the community even at home, especially those residents with limited mobility or who are usually busy, highly appreciate this method.

Encouraged by this initial success, Qin Tian and Lu Wan decided to continue operating this online exhibition as a long-term project, and plan to gradually introduce more interactive features, such as online comments, artist interactive sessions, and even... Introduce more interactive functions, such as online comments, artist interactive sessions, and even real-time live broadcasts of art creation, to increase users' sense of participation and experience.

Qin Tian put forward his idea in the next team meeting: "By live broadcasting art creation, we can not only show the artist's creative process, but also allow the audience to ask questions in real time, and the artist can respond immediately. Such interaction will undoubtedly make the participants Feel more engaged.”

Lu Wan also thinks this is a good suggestion and added: "We can start on a small scale and select one or two artists to pilot live broadcasts to see the audience's reaction and technical feasibility. If successful, we will gradually Scale up.”

Together, the two refined the plan, including selecting the right artists, preparing the necessary technical equipment, and designing the interactive flow. (End of chapter)
