JUE | Music + Art Festival 2010: March 12 - 29

JUE.jpg As if to signal the end of another dreary winter, this Spring brings the 2010 JUE Music + Art Festival. A celebration of the alternative, creative and progressive arts in Shanghai with no branding, no restrictions and no hidden agenda, JUE is an excuse not to be cooped up in your apartment.

Experience a punk show, an art installation, and everything in between - Split Works, along with local galleries, record labels, and the international music community, has knitted together a diverse mix of visual arts exhibitions and live shows at venues across the city.

And they've outlined at least some of the things you can look forward to, listed after the jump:
