- Artistic productions (artworks, exhibitions, performances, workshops)-
- Diversity (capacity building, networking and regional mapping)
Having already facilitated more than 30 activities in China and the rest of Asia since its inception in 2007 , Arthub is destined to become the major provider of structural support not only for artists working in China and across Asia, but also for communities of leading curators, art professionals and producers.
ArtHub’s mission is also to support through structural funding the renowned not-for-profit BizArt Art Centre, allowing it to continue promoting contemporary art in China and to reach out across Asia. It will also support the production of artworks for BizArt-related projects, the documentation and archiving of such projects, the collection and conservation of artworks, and the educational programs of BizArt aimed at promoting contemporary art among Chinese people. With ArtHub providing solid support, BizArt is now able to plan its programs and development on a longer-term basis. BizArt’s 2007 projects fall under six main categories: Exhibitions; Workshops and Residency programs; Conference, Education and Symposium programs; Information Center and Documentation; Online Discussions; and Support for Production of Artistic Works.
With the support of ArtHub, BizArt will be able to promote contemporary art in China and other parts of Asia more effectively and on a broader scale. For more information on Bizart-related activities, please check here.
