Inspire your Friends
- The foundation is best known for commissioning UK–China artist exchanges and exhibitions rather than holding a permanent collection.
- Its prize and residency initiatives have showcased work from UK art schools alongside contemporary Chinese practice, building long-running networks.
- Shows are often staged with partner venues as well as in-house, so checking current location and hours matters more than for a conventional museum.
