To embody the event theme, Mr. Du was joined by two American artists Robert Lyn Nelson and Tanya Nolan and re-created his classic piece "World Harmony" which will be dedicated to the 2012 London Olympics. Mr. Du also donated one painting to Richard Nixon Library and Museum. Over 300 guests attended the live event on the 9th. Awards were presented to the artists and event organizers to acknowledge their contributions to art and culture. The event also boasted live performances and a runway show that featured dresses painted by Mr. Du.
