Guitar Jam Party by Guitar China @ Yugong Yishan
Be part of history at Guitar China's inaugural jam party. Though it could be more ear-splitting than groundbreaking, it all depends on who shows up to show off their ax skills.
This is the start of a monthly event that invites guitarists from all walks of music to take the stage.
When: 8:30 pm, tonight
Where: No.3-2 Zhangzizhong Lu, Dongcheng district

Where: No.111 Gulou Dongdajie, Dongcheng district
Tickets: 60 yuan (advanced), 80 yuan (door)

Wilderness under the Stars: Works of Liu Wei @ Line Gallery
Liu Wei readily admits that he felt bewildered when presented with the challenge of creating the more than a dozen paintings for this exhibit. But he translates that feeling beautifully into his works, many of which feature a lost little boy at the center of swirling, fantastical landscapes and creatures. In Special Delivery, the boy, illuminated and innocent, stands with his bike at the mouth of a dark, enchanted forest. In Amble Along, he sits atop a brilliantly white unicorn in an otherwise nightmarish thicket. The painting style resembles the softened realism of a children's book. In Cypress, the same little boy wears a beard and carries an artist's palette. Seems Liu couldn't fully escape into his own fantasy realm.
When: Until April 3
Where: 798 Art Zone, No.2, Jiuxianqiao Lu, Chaoyang district
Admission: Free
