Mr. Huang: "First of all, I am very happy to be one of the candidates for this selection, and I am very grateful to the organizing committee for their support and recognition of my artistic creation.
In addition, I learned that this selection has very strict norms and standards, which is conducive to ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the selection, and is also conducive to better cooperation and exchanges between artists on this platform.
In the end, what I want to say is that it is not important to win or not, but participation is important, because artistic creation cannot be done behind closed doors, it needs to go out boldly, and needs to communicate and make an impact. I believe that such a high-level selection will definitely stimulate our creative enthusiasm and allow the audience to see more valuable works of art."

Second, the "2021-2022 LABA Most Influential and Valuable Artist Award" is a highly professional selection. Although, the secret ballot we conducted this month was only an on-site invitation to representatives of the main judges. However, the selection rules were formulated by the LABA International Art Festival Jury after many thoughtful discussions.
Third, on September 28th last year, our LABA International Arts Festival selected 150 candidates from around the world. In this "2021-2022 LABA Most Influential and Valuable Artist Award", the LABA jury will select the list of artists in the world ranking by secret ballot on the spot through specific data and relevant terms.
All secret ballots will be conducted under the supervision of our appointed law firm. Finally, the list of the top 10 artists of the "2021-2022 LABA Most Influential and Valuable Artist Award" will be announced on the day of voting."
Afterwards, Ms. Schulte gave a tour of the studio to Joey Zhou and Mr. Jiannan Huang, who was communicating by cell phone, so they could enjoy the artwork and activities of "DreamSpace Art Studios" and "MFTFAA".
