The exhibition was sponsored by the local Falun Dafa Association and two local art associations. Several artists and government officials, and Ms. Chen Xiaoping, a Canadian artist, came to the opening ceremony.

Many tourists came to the exhibition. After viewing the paintings, several people from China expressed their support for Falun Gong, and signed their names on the petition calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Many of them took truth-clarifying materials. Two women from China asked for bookmarks printed with the message "Falun Dafa is good," and copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Later that day, they came back to the exhibition. One of the women quit the Communist Party after talking to Falun Gong practitioners.

A Chinese art teacher highly praised the artworks. She said that the artists are very professional and accomplished.

A local Chinese person was shocked in front of a painting that shows how Ms. Gao Rongrong, a Falun Gong practitioner, was tortured to death by the Chinese authorities. He shed tears when he learned that policemen burned Ms. Gao's face with electric batons.
