This week, we explore the development of the Chinese mainland art market.

Latest industry reports showed tentative signs of a rebound last year, with buyers gradually returning to the market amid the growing dynamism of the cultural ecosystems across Asia.

Across the nation, there's also been the country's own artistic renaissance with a rising cultural craze and museum-building spree. More families also see museum visits as a must and are sending their children to the country's popular attractions, ranging from the Palace Museum in Beijing to the Sanxingdui site exhibitions in the southwestern province of Sichuan. The country also identified culture and arts as one of the areas to spur domestic consumption in its coming five-year plan.

So to what extent can the momentum continue? And what are some of the latest trends shaping the nation's contemporary art scene?

Pearl Lam, the founder of Pearl Lam Galleries will join the conversation.
