About this place

The historic original campus of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Huangjueping, its grounds filled with weathered moss-covered sculptures and ivy-draped brick studios under enormous old banyan trees — the place where painters like Luo Zhongli built their careers.

Drifter says

"Take Metro Line 18 to Sichuan Fine Arts Institute Station. The campus sits directly on the Graffiti Street — zero travel time between the two. Bring your passport in case security asks. Once inside, find the Tank Loft contemporary art center, converted from actual decommissioned military warehouse structures with free exhibitions running regularly. Spend an hour here before walking out the gate onto the murals."
