The Chinese Painting Guild is a collective of artists, all current or former students of Ma Qingxiong. Their work blends the values and techniques of traditional Chinese brush painting with Western expression and individuality. The objectives of the Guild are to promote appreciation and understanding of traditional Chinese brush painting through exhibitions, lectures, demonstrations, special events and publications.  
 
In 1999 at the invitation of Doris Chu, President of Chinese Culture Institute and International Society, Ma Qingxiong presented his students’ work in a show at the Tremont Gallery called Spirit of the East. Impressed by the show, she urged the artists to present Spirit of the East as an annual event. Organized as the Chinese Painting Guild in 2000 they have continued to present Spirit of the East as well as other exhibitions. Chinese Painting Guild artists also exhibit independently.
