MIDDLETOWN, N.Y.—The New Middletown store is hosting an art exhibition celebrating the beauty and artistry of Shen Yun Performing Arts, featuring the 20th anniversary celebration series on Aug. 1.

The downtown Middletown art exhibition will showcase a new collection of paintings and giclée prints to mark the end of the series.

This event is the first time these 20 new artworks will be shared publicly, and they will soon be available for purchase as premium prints.

A giclée print is a fine art inkjet print produced using high-resolution and pigment-based printers. It produces higher-quality prints by using pigments instead of dyes and eliminates visible dot patterns. Shen Yun uses Hahnemühle Museum Etching, a printing paper known for its high-quality image capture and feel.

The art prints show photos and paintings of scenes from Shen Yun’s dances and stories. Some previous art pieces include “Elegance of a Majestic Era,” “Heavenly Fairies of the Peach Garden,” and “Lost in a Painting,” all available at the Shen Yun Collections online store.

Visitors can join Shen Yun at New Middletown to celebrate this milestone on Saturday, Aug. 1, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The event will feature classical music performances, a staple of New Middletown. The venue hosts multiple candlelight classical concerts each year.

The art exhibition coincides with the opening of New Middletown’s new art gallery, which will be open to the public after the event.

New Middletown is a department store on downtown Middletown’s main road, North Street. It was formerly a Tompkins Department Store, until Tompkins left for a suburban mall in the 1970s. The first floor is dedicated to merchandise from Shen Yun Collections and Shen Yun Dancer, including handbags, scarves, jewelry, clothing, and home goods.

The second floor sells everyday products made locally and around the world, including German knives, Italian pasta, and Asian snacks.

The performing arts company was established in 2006.
