ART DOCUMENTARY
While Shanye Huang was in China in September, due to his unique contribution in taking his ethnic Culture to the world platform through his art, Guangxi TV Station began filming a documentary about his journey of art as one of their special programs. The Filming team came to his studio in Maryland in December, 2012. The documentary has began its first broadcasting on the Chinese New Year's Day nationally and internationally and will be re-broadcasted on March 10th at 22:00 via Guangxi TV to its national and international channels.
3-Generation Art Exhibition - The exhibit includes artworks by the artists K. weijie Huang (grandfather), Shanye Huang (father) and Etian Huang (son) - three generations of Huang Family. K.weijie Huang (b.1930-) puts his love for birds and sceneries into his paintings. Shanye Huang, taking inspiration from his native Zhuang ethnic culture, creates images that express appreciation of love, blessing and harmony through symbols, metaphors, figures, Chinese calligraphy and Yin-Yang philosophy. Etian Huang, born in 2008, loves to draw and paint since he was able to hold his pencil and brash. It is not only a joy of play but also a creation with a sense of deliberation.

Concert Filled with of ART, MUSIC and DANCE in NYC 2009
Inspired by artist Shanye Huang's paintings, New York based, well-known conductor and composer Silas Huff created a suite to accompany Huang's current work- the Tapestry of Dreams. The musical composition that resulted, "Chun Zhi Ge" (Spring Song Festival), is a 30-minute "dance symphony" comprised of Chinese folk melodies set to orchestra in a contemporary American fashion. It is being realized as a concert filled with art, music and dance. Its world premiere was shown in New York City on March 21, 2009, which was a great success.
