About Us

Cheng-Lan Foundation is a Hong Kong based arts organisation, dedicated to supporting artists from the global majority and diaspora communities. Through collecting, exhibitions, commissions and institutional partnerships, the foundation works to amplify artistic practices that expand and reimagine the global story.

Operating as a collaborative platform, the foundation supports artists, emerging curators, writers, and practitioners, offering opportunities to develop ideas through institutional collaborations and resource sharing. Its activities range from commissioning work and facilitating artist research trips to supporting new institutional projects, guided by the long-term commitment to uplift marginalised voices, foster critical cultural dialogue, and build a collection that will serve as a publicly accessible resource for future generations.

The Foundation also operates Cheng-Lan's Corner, a physical exhibition space that hosts residencies, exhibitions, and commissions to support artistic practices in line with the Foundation's mission. Year-round, Cheng-Lan's Corner offers exhibitions and public programming to the arts community and the interested public to encourage discourse, increase accessibility to the arts, and to nurture community.
