What's our vision?

To become a leading cultural platform that fosters artistic collaboration and exchange between China and the UK, empowering emerging artists and bridging communities through film, visual arts, performance, and dialogue.

This vision reflects OBA’s commitment to:

Cultural exchange: Showcasing the richness of Chinese and British art in cross-cultural settings.
Community engagement: Creating inclusive, educational, and immersive experiences for local and international audiences.
Artist empowerment: Supporting young and established artists through exhibitions, festivals, and networking opportunities.
Sustainability and social impact: Aligning art with causes such as environmental awareness and charitable partnerships.

What kind of facilities do we have?

Orchid Blossom Arts (OBA) hosts events at top venues in London. While we don’t have a fixed venue, we partner with trusted spaces to deliver high-quality cultural experiences.

We support a wide range of events including film screenings, art exhibitions, cultural talks, and social dinners. Our team provides full technical support with projectors, sound systems, and bilingual (English–Chinese) hosting to make every event run smoothly.

For international and local artists, we offer help with curation, translation, and promotion. We also promote films and artworks through platforms like Xiaohongshu, WeChat, and Instagram, as well as through universities and cultural partners in the UK and China.

We also support event catering—working with quality restaurants to deliver authentic Chinese and fusion dining experiences, perfect for networking and cultural exchange.

Whether you’re a student, artist, or art lover, OBA offers a welcoming space to share and celebrate arts and culture across borders.

If you’re interested in showcasing your work or joining our events, we’d love to hear from you!

Who can work with OBA?

OBA works with a wide range of partners including artists, jewellery and fashion designers, cultural institutions, educational organisations, and international brands. Whether you are an emerging creative or an established brand seeking cross-border collaboration, OBA provides tailored opportunities for cultural connection and global growth.

It's what we do.

We are a London-based art community that promotes cultural exchange and creative dialogue between China and the UK. Our mission is to use the power of the arts to build bridges between cultures, generations, and communities.

We curate and deliver a wide range of cultural events, including film screenings, art exhibitions, music and dance performances, artist talks, and themed social dinners. Each event is designed to be immersive and accessible, bringing together diverse audiences to experience and appreciate both traditional and contemporary art forms.

Our work supports both emerging and established artists by offering platforms to showcase their work in high-profile venues such as King’s College London and riverside cultural spaces. We provide technical support, curation services, and bilingual interpretation to ensure seamless presentations. Through partnerships with universities, art institutions, and community organisations, we also offer collaborative opportunities that foster learning and international exchange.

Beyond the arts, we are committed to social impact. Our events often support charitable causes, including environmental awareness and community development, aligning with partners such as WWF and the London Environmental Committee.

OBA delivers through professionalism, inclusivity, and creativity. We blend tradition with innovation and bring Chinese and British artistic voices together in a shared space of respect, inspiration, and exchange.

And this is how.

At Orchid Blossom Arts, we bring cultural exchange to life through creative and collaborative experiences. We deliver our work by:

Curating high-quality events such as film screenings, art shows, and cultural dinners that engage both Chinese and UK audiences.
Collaborating with trusted venues like universities, galleries, and riverside spaces to provide professional and welcoming environments.
Supporting artists with bilingual curation, technical setup, and promotion across Chinese and international platforms.
Building partnerships with schools, charities, and cultural organisations to expand our reach and impact.
Combining tradition with innovation, connecting classic Chinese culture with modern artistic voices.

We enjoyed 50+ festivals and concerts together.
