Market-dominated development | Guangzhou Xiaozhou Artist Village, 798 Art District and Chongqing Ciqikou Artist Village | These Artist Villages developed quickly, but artists are easy to be squeezed out by capitals. | There are stable artistic talent sources, market activity and good market connection. |
Government-dominated development | Chongqing Gujianshan Artist Village and Shenzhen Fenghua Ancient Village | Slow development | With government supports, these Artist Villages are easy to get financial and infrastructure supports. |
Market + government-dominated development | Beijing Songzhuang Artist Village, Chengdu Landing Artist Village and Hefei Cuigang Artist Village | Quick development with supports from the government | In early stage, artists develop independently. After getting government supports, activity of market elements is stimulated and Artist Village enters into prosperity. |
