On the day of the exhibition opening, the Art Museum also hosted two related academic events.

The second is a seminar by Prof. Shang Gang (Professor, Academy of Arts and Design, Tsinghua University), Prof. Li Qinpu (Research Fellow, Zhejiang A&F University), Ms. Zhang Tong (Research Fellow, Inner Mongolia Museum), and Dr. Zhan Zhenpeng (Ph.D., Department of Fine Arts, CUHK), moderated by Prof. Xu Xiaodong, Associated Director of the Art Museum. The two events were attended by 44 and 31 people respectively.

From September to December 2018, the Art Museum organised the reputed "Arts Experience Workshop". Themed on the exhibition "Refilling the Interregnum: Newly Discovered Imperial Porcelains from Zhengtong, Jingtai and Tianshun Reigns (1436–1464) of the Ming Dynasty", the workshop included a guided tour, role-play games, and art creation. Through a range of interactive activities, participants would gain first-hand experience in the art and history of imperial porcelains during Zhengtong, Jingtai, and Tianshun Reigns of the Ming Dynasty. A total of 40 groups numbering 1,015 participants took part in the Arts Experience Workshop. 

In order to bring the exhibition "Refilling the Interregnum: Newly Discovered Imperial Porcelains from Zhengtong, Jingtai and Tianshun Reigns (1436-1464) of the Ming Dynasty" to the community, Art Museum organized "Ceramics Art Jamming", inviting CUHK students and staff and visitors of CUHK to paint on a canvas located at various sites at CUHK campus, including The Beacon, Area outside New Asia College Ch'ien Mu Library, Cultural Plaza and Foyer, East Wing of the Art Museum of CUHK. With
the outline of imperial porcelain wares and patterns on the canvas, participants were encouraged to design patterns of porcelain wares and filled porcelain patterns with colour. Through the process of designing and filling up colours, not only did the creativity of the participants unleash, but also creating a dialogue between the participants and the past history/craftworks, leading to an interesting art jamming experience. A total of 486 took people painted on the canvas at "Ceramics Art Jamming".

The Art Museum, Digital Services team of the University Library, and experts from Shanghai spent four years to digitize and transcript the Sheng Xuanhuai Archive, which comprises almost 4 million characters in over 13,000 correspondences. The archive is key to understand that period of seismic changes and will revolutionise the studies of late Qing and early Republican China. It also brings us to an important milestone in the skills and techniques of archival digitization.
