The area occupied by Beijing 798 Art Zone was once a factory designed and built by the experts of former G.D.R in the 1950s. After 2000 vacant factory spaces were rented by art organizations and individual artists, attracted by ordered designing, convenient traffic and unique style of Bauhaus architecture. They transformed them, gradually forming a district of galleries, art studios, cultural companies, fashion shops etc. As the earliest area where the art organizations and artists moved in were located in the original area of 798 Factory, the place was named Beijing 798 Art Zone.
Beijing 798 Art Zone yearly hosts two major international art events, focusing on exhibition and communication of culture and art: Beijing 798 Art Festival held from the end of April to the end of May and Beijing 798 Creative Art Festival taking place from the end of September to the end of October.
