​As Shanghai’s most anticipated art gala in autumn, the Rockbund Art Museum’s Ya Vae returns anew on Saturday, November 9, 2019. This year the Rockbund Art Museum has been officially registered as a non-profit organization by the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau, a milestone from which we will continue to move forward, in becoming more deeply involved in artistic exploration and interactions with the public, and in boldly embracing the unknown. At the outset of this new chapter for our institution, our team at RAM cordially invites you to join us in an extraordinary and unforgettable D-RAM-A, an intricately planned event where you will be able to experience the warmth and vitality of this young organization.

Ya Vae 2018, 2018

An Exchange Platform of the Highest Quality 

Ya Vae guests include leaders in art and business from all around the world, such as artists, curators, national and international museum directors, important art collectors and brokers, representatives from leading international art galleries, representatives of private banks and so on, who will celebrate together with RAM’s Board of Trustees, Academic Committee, Sponsorship Committee and cooperative partners. While immersed in a unique art experience, guests will be exposed to the newest trends, cutting-edge issues and current ecosystem of the contemporary art world, and to sharing strategies for participating in and advancing the development of art and society. Each year’s Ya Vae has a limited guest number of 100 - 150 invitees, and as such is a valuable opportunity for specialists from around the world to meet and interact.

A One-of-a-Kind Art Experience

Distinctive from other celebratory and charitable events, Ya Vae is a unique art platform presented by the Rockbund Art Museum, where creative artistic projects and an acute societal awareness are daringly and exquisitely embedded within the banquet format and venue space, providing guests with a strikingly meaningful experience.
