Immediately after the end of that event, the Chinese Academy of Art, considered to be the top fine-arts university in all of China, made a proposal to the exhibit's executive committee to co-organize the following year's exhibition and it was decided that the "China-Japan International Contemporary Art Exhibition 2005" would once again be held in Zhejiang Province in March of 2005.

Ultimately, that 2nd exhibition was held with the International College of the China Academy of Art as the main organizer and with the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Xiling Seal Engravers’ Society, the Zhejiang Painting Academy and the Sesshu International Art Society all co-organizers, and it became a meaningful exchange exhibition that was an indicator of the young students who will be shouldering the future of the field of art in China.

Visitors flowed into the hall upon the opening of the doors, and there were many scenes of exchange through interpreters between the Japanese and Chinese exhibitors, as well as questions from the general public and more. Mr. Feng and Mr. Jiang also made their way around the venue and expressed their opinions on each work.

As a cooperative exhibition of artists representing both countries, a great deal of interest was displayed in this event even before its opening, and the media was there en force to cover not only that first day. Visiting the hall were students from the Chinese Academy of Art, naturally, but also many other students determined to become artists, and the sight of these individuals ardently appreciating the works on display was impressive

As a special project of the sponsors, an event that will become a major proviso for the future of the exhibitors was simultaneously held.
