The award ceremony for the winning works of the 7th National Oil Painting Competition of Zhumeiyuan Literary and Art Award was held on the afternoon of February 26 (Saturday) at the Kaohsiung Cultural Center to the Shin-2 Hall.

I would like to thank Li Yongde, Minister of Culture, for coming to deliver the speech, and affirming the dedication of Chairman Wang Yuanlin of the Wang Yuanlin Culture and Art Foundation, which is a legal person, to invest huge sums of money in building art museums in remote villages, which is admirable! Minister of Culture Li Yongde said that he attended the Zhumeiyuan Literary and Art Award Ceremony for the second time, because of Chairman Wang's intention to devote himself to culture and art with non-governmental power, and to hold exhibitions every year to encourage artists, he has made a lot of contributions to Taiwan's art circle. Under the recommendation of all walks of life, the Ministry of Culture awarded the "Cultural Association Medal" last year to recognize the efforts of the Foundation.

Thanks again to all the distinguished guests and all the winners.
