Takung Art Company Announces Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Huangshan Arts Association

HONG KONG, CHINA / ACCESSWIRE / July 31, 2017 / Takung Art Co., Ltd. (NYSE American: TKAT) (“Takung”), an online trading platform that facilitates art collectors and art-interested investors to obtain and trade shared ownership units in Asian and international fine arts, today announced that the Company, through its direct wholly-owned subsidiary HongKong Takung Assets and Equity of Artworks Exchange Co. Ltd., has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Huangshan Arts Association (the “Association”), a 200-member association that promotes the appreciation and understanding of traditional Hui culture artworks, including carvings, lacquerware, wickerwork, and the Wan’an compass. The Association is based in Huangshan City, China, where the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (“UNESCO”) has identified two traditional Hui culture villages as World Heritage sites for their preservation of traditional Hui art, technology, and customs.

Under the terms of the agreement, which was signed on July 16, 2017, the Association will recommend, appraise, and value artworks to be listed on Takung’s unit trading platform and provide resources and support for road shows and exhibits. The works, in turn, will gain a greater audience by participating in Takung’s listing process, during which portfolios are marketed and promoted through road shows and exhibitions.

Mr. Mike Xiao, Chairman and CEO of Takung, commented, “We are pleased with this opportunity to work with the Huangshan Arts Association to bring its extensive collection of traditional Hui culture carvings to our platform and the world stage. By combining our resources and knowledge, our partnership will strengthen Takung’s standing as a leading and trusted provider of high quality artwork and fine arts while enabling our current 110,000 traders to invest in their rich cultural heritage. We look forward to further deepening our penetration into the arts market and educating the public about the Hui culture with the Association.”

“This collaboration is part of Takung’s larger efforts to bring more diversified artwork to the Takung unit trading platform through partnerships with leaders in the art industry. Along with the previously announced “A” tier portfolio category, Takung’s partnerships aim to attract new traders, increase trading liquidity, and improve the company’s top and bottom lines,” Mr. Xiao concluded.
