Both Lulu Yueming McNaught from California, USA and Flavia from Shanghai, China curated the exhibition. The exhibition was opened during the Halloween weekend, and the works on display were mainly selected from the students from the St. Didacus School, the community students from San Diego County and the students from Shanghai. These students are teenagers and children aged from 3 to 15 years old.

The exhibition opened with a Halloween party. During the ceremony party, the American students voted for their favorite artworks. They also joined some art activities, such as making Halloween art masks and stickers. The host prepared Halloween gifts for the raffle winners. Children with different skin colors are confident, equal and friendly in front of art. American parents actively took their children to participate in this Dreamers-themed friendship exhibition between American and Chinese children. The exhibition lasts for 15 days. During the exhibition, Lulu Yueming McNaught, the executive curator of the exhibition, teachers from US Arts, and artists from California will conduct awards for this exhibition.
