Through the combination of online promotion and offline salon activities,the breakthrough format of music and visual art crossover allows TME to provide the best outlet for individual emotional expressions and group emotional resonance. The resulting creative,immersive experience helps to unlock more value and encourage the production of more high-quality music content.

"As China's leading online music platform,TME has been thinking about our social responsibility," said Silence Chen,TME's head of Brand and PR Department. "Today,together with these beloved musicians and artists,we have seen the kind of goodwill that music and art can generate to help bring change to the world. Through the TME Art Project,we aim to stir inspiration for new works of music,use creative ways to reach a wider audience,and turn these musical pieces into classics that will be the legacy of our generation. We especially hope to advocate this kind of project with our partner WWF and others,in order to create more memorable,long-lasting experiences for the world."

The new "TME Art Project" aims to break barriers in the art world through various forms of crossover cooperation between music and visual artists,art exhibitions and art salons,intending to mutual promotion between art forms. The "All Creation: Encounter with Animals" exhibition is the first pioneering effort of the project.

This is also the first time that TME has cooperated with WWF. In the future,both sides will continue to use music to encourage people to cherish and care for animals and nature,and support protective actions for the harmonious coexistence of mankind and all wildlife.

TME will create more imaginative opportunities with partners in art,music,and public welfare,based on the advantages of TME's platform in user data and industry resources. The goal is to spur future development and professional respect for more dedicated creators and musicians,as well as create a better environment for artistic creation.
