The World Tree: China Academy of Art (CAA) Graduation Season was simultaneously inaugurated at eight venues on June 1, including the CAA's Xiangshan Campus, Liangzhu Campus, and Xianghu Campus, Zhejiang Art Museum, Zhejiang Library's Zhijiang Branch, World Tourism Museum, and Quanshanshi Art Center. It presents the graduation works of a total of 2,868 graduates (1834 undergraduates and 1034 postgraduates) from 20 academic units, as a youthful art festival across the city of Hangzhou and various domains. The opening exhibition and fashion show took place on the evening of June 1 at CAA Liangzhu Campus, which was concurrently live-streamed online. The online graduation exhibition has also been launched on CAACOSMOS.

自2010年开始，中国美术学院率先汇聚所有专业的毕业作品，面向公众集中展示，以“毕业展示周”的全新形式，向社会推荐优秀人才，开艺术学院之先河。2019年，这场全球最大规模的毕业展狂欢冲破了学院围墙，走向杭城，凝结起更大的力量，一方面内外打通，形成一所“无墙的学院”；另一方面实现教学成果与社会共享、办学成就与城市同步、青年艺术家与时代同成长，形成了国内最具影响力的毕业季。

The CAA Graduation Exhibition 2019, the world's largest one, reached beyond the walls of the Academy to the entire city, gathering greater strengths. On one hand, it showcased CAA as an "Unwalled Academy" that integrates internal and external resources; on the other hand, it shared the Academy's educational achievements with society, to promote the common growth of young artists in line with the times. It has become the most influential Graduation Season in China.

2024年，中国美术学院毕业季以“世界树”为主题。世界树，引导我们用生命的眼光看向世界，同时向内探寻。每一次出发，向更高、更远的地方伸展枝桠，或向更深、更专的领域扎根探索，每一次行动，都将是我们迎来新生的微小探索。高世名指出：“‘世界树’曾是联结天地人间的通道，此刻，这个古老的传奇将引导我们重新以生命的眼光理解世界，以自然的眼光理解人。”本次毕业季营造出一场“观照时代的青春宣言，融合汇聚的创想时空；文化经典的传承现场，多种未来的汇聚之地”的广泛跨界、青春洋溢的艺术盛会。

In 2024, the CAA Graduation Season takes "World Tree" as its theme. The World Tree guides us to view the world with the perspective of life and to explore within. Each departure reaches higher and farther, or delves deeper and more specialized. Every action is a tiny exploration welcoming a new life. President Gao Shiming pointed out, "The 'World Tree' was once a channel connecting heaven, earth, and humanity. Now, this ancient legend will guide us to understand the world with the perspective of life and understand people with the perspective of nature." This graduation season creates a broad, cross-disciplinary, and youth-filled art festival that serves as a "youth declaration observing the times, a creative space-time of fusion and convergence, a heritage site of cultural classics, and a gathering place for various futures."
