The fifth instalment of the global forum follows the successful discussion on "Synergy between Art and Real Estate" in New York, "Synergy between Architecture and Architecture" in Venice and "Contemporary Urban Culture Sustainability Development", "Contemporary Value and Sustainable Development of Traditional Culture" in Tokyo.

GO ART is the first company in its field in China to incorporate globally-inclusive creative art platform with real estate, corporations and commercial brands.

Currently, GO ART is organizing numerous curatorial projects focused on the Classical Gardens of Suzhou, a group of gardens in Suzhou region in China. The Suzhou Gardens have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List and are acknowledged to be gardening masterpieces and peak of the development of Chinese garden art. The goal of GO ART's Suzhou Garden project called "Cultural Envoy, Beyond the Gardens" is to create a global platform to bring together diverse objects and experience created in crossover fields of art, design, interior design, architecture and fashion from around the globe to be presented on stage in various locations in Suzhou and online. This is an event that will transform Suzhou Gardens into a museum of design and art. In 2018, GO ART announced the "Cultural Envoy, Beyond the Gardens" plan, accompanied by a series of forums and panel discussions. The panelists include Didi Pei, son of famous architect I.M. Pei; Simon Collin, former dean at Parsons; Luca Molinari, curator of the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale of Architecture. In 2019 GO ART brings together three famous Chinese architects for an architecture exhibition inside the Master of Nets Garden which is considered to be the most internationally well-known example of all Suzhou Gardens. Astor Court, the Chinese Garden Court Yard inside the Metropolitan Museum was modeled on the Peony Court inside the Master of Nets Garden. These three architects are Brian Zhang, Philip Yuan, and Tong Zhang. Each architect shows a commissioned installation inspired from the Suzhou Gardens. The exhibition runs from October 28th to Dec 28th, 2019. In 2020, GO ART will officially launch the "Hi-Garden" platform focusing on the international garden contemporary art exhibition highlighting a variety of cultural and artistic contents including visual arts, animation-based games as well as music and films.
