This paper chooses the New Star Art Awards, a representative award in the field of Chinese contemporary visual art, as a case study. It is used to analyze how the mass media is used in the dissemination of Chinese contemporary art. Then, it analyzes the positive influence of mass media on Chinese contemporary art.
