Can artists use tourist visas to participate in activities?

I can't. Tourist visa can only travel, not work. Tourist visa holders are not allowed to engage in work, business and other activities unrelated to tourism in the destination country, and are not allowed to engage in illegal activities. Tourist visa is a quick visa application method for the convenience of tourists and the development of tourism resources. Correspondingly, it is also greatly restricted. Generally speaking, the validity period and stay period are relatively short and can only be used for tourism-related activities.
