The 6th UWEE Louvre International Art Exhibition at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris brings together global talent to celebrate the Olympic spirit and sustainability. Curated by Gilbert Van Kerckhove, a cross-cultural expert with over 30 years in East-West exchanges and significant contributions to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, this high-caliber exhibition features themes of "Paris Olympics," "Saving Lives," and "Technology Shapes the Future."
