本屆藝術節以“喜迎二十大 奮進新征程”為主題，是文化和旅游部與京津冀三地政府聯合舉辦的重大文化活動。2025年第十四屆中國藝術節將由川渝兩地聯合舉辦。

中國文化藝術政府——文華獎是文化和旅游部設立的國家舞臺藝術政府獎，是我國舞臺藝術領域的最高政府獎，每3年評選一次，本屆文華獎共有來自各省市和中直院團的58部作品參評。川劇《江姐》由重慶市委宣傳部、市文化旅游委、市川劇院等單位聯合出品，市川劇院創排，取材于小說《紅巖》，由著名劇作家、詞作家閻肅擔任編劇，中國戲劇家協會副主席、重慶市文聯主席、重慶市川劇院院長沈鐵梅領銜主演。

該劇從唱腔設計、劇情編排、譜曲配器上進行了獨立創作，在唱腔上用最具川劇特色的高腔作為全劇音樂的主體，配以小型民族管弦樂隊為伴奏，保持了川劇高腔“幫、打、唱”的特點，對“紅梅贊”進行了戲曲化、川劇化改編和設計；在劇情上，充分展示了以江姐為代表的紅巖英烈事跡，藝術化、情感化、合理化地融入了“獄中八條”，賦予作品新的時代價值，讓紅巖精神代代相傳，在新時代熠熠生輝。
