Art and fashion

The first Global Chinese Art and Fashion Grand Ceremony will be held on Nov 30 at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The biannual event, co-organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, China International Cultural Exchange Promotion Society and other cultural institutions, will include a gala performance, a fashion show and an award-giving ceremony.

A series of commemorative stamps, first day covers, coins and postcards in limited editions will also be issued by the China Post Corp later this year, organizers say.
