With a primary focus on the traditional category of “visual” art, we create concepts, manage projects, disseminate information and generally function as a “hub” connecting art practitioners with institutions that are experimenting with new ideas and searching for new ways of connecting with people.
If you have ideas for a project or are seeking inspiration or new directions for your organization please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
[accordions title=”” disabled=”false” active=”true” autoheight=”false” collapsible=”true”]ARTSpring is currently a voluntary association with no direct ties to any government, business or other institution.
Does ARTSpring represent artists in the sale of their works?
No, ARTSpring does not actively represent artists in the art market.
How does ARTSpring support its programs?
Currently, administrative time and funds to cover material costs are contributed by participating individuals and organizations. Tangible and intangible value realized through our programs benefit the individual participants.
Where is ARTSpring based?
We are based in Shanghai, China, and have a special concern for Chinese cultural practices and contemporary life in China. At the same time our outlook is global. We strive to turn programs into prototypes which can be duplicated in different contexts around the world, and we are actively receptive to new ideas from outside China.
What is ARTSpring’s organizational direction?
ARTSpring is an evolving organization with a growing base of program prototypes, arts practitioners and connections to organizations outside the arts worlds. We welcome inquiries from interested prospective partners including other voluntary organizations, educational institutions, consulting partnerships, non-governmental organizations and government cultural agencies whose work dovetails with ours.
ARTSpring is comprised of many individuals who are committed to excellence in creating meaningful art experiences. Our “hub” consists of a handful of people who conduct research and administer communications; arts practitioners including artists, curators, art writers and scholars, art teachers, and designers who collaborate on a project by project basis, breathing creative life into each project and guiding implementation; and experts in fields outside of art who play a crucial role in the conceptualization and development of new projects and programs.
