Recently, the Gulangyu Academy of Arts initiated the "Island Return Project" under the slogan "Visit the Island for a Cat Nap.” This themed IP event encompasses various activities such as the "WuHoo Cat Nap Art Market," FIRST independent film screenings, the "May 18 World Museum Day" KCCA themed events, BOSS job fair, "Zero Waste Market" sustainability initiative, the Gulangyu sub-district "Island Neighbor Card" promotion ceremony, eight craft workshops, four talks, the She Run "Island Run," three days of music performances, seven themed exhibitions, and artistic installations.

With a mission to "Connect Beauty Through Art," Gulangyu Academy of Arts continually links excellent resources from various sectors to create diverse local cultural and artistic activities, gradually becoming a popular destination for trendy youths and a favorite spot for families. The market alone attracted nearly 20,000 visitors in three days, energizing the island and advancing the cultural and artistic industry of Xiamen.
