Dear visitors and partners, Late last week, UCCA became aware of an announcement by the Departement du Nord in France, the local government authority under which Musée Matisse Le Cateau-Cambrésis operates, noting the suspension of cultural exchange between the Departement and China. This includes an existing agreement between UCCA and Musée Matisse for the upcoming UCCA exhibition “Matisse by Matisse.” Although, to date, UCCA has not received official notice of this decision, preparations for “Matisse by Matisse” have been temporarilysuspended and the opening originally planned for March 26, 2022 at UCCA Beijing must be postponed. UCCA remains deeply committed to global cultural exchange and is actively working with partners in France in hopes of rescheduling the exhibition for a later date in both Beijing and Shanghai. For further updates, please follow our official WeChat and Weibo accounts. Early bird tickets may be retained for entry when the exhibition opens on a future date. UCCA also offers full refund to early bird ticket holders. To apply for a refund: 1. For tickets purchased on the official UCCA WeChat mini program, please email the name and mobile phone number used for purchase to ticketing@ucca.org.cn. The full amount will be refunded via the original method of purchase within three to five working days.2. For tickets purchased via a third-party ticketing platform (Damai, Maoyan, More Tickets), please contact the respective platform directly for their refund procedure. Thank you for your longstanding support. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we look forward to the eventual opening of this and other exhibitions with you throughout our Fifteenth Anniversary Year and beyond.
