Foundation
Based in the bustling artistic hub of Hong Kong, the Foundation for Art and Culture is a non-profit organisation co-founded by Arthur de Villepin and Dominique de Villepin. We operate as a driving force in the realm of culture exchanges, aiming to bridge the gap between East and West and foster international cooperation, in particular through cross-cultural projects.
The Foundation was established in response to growing demand from Asian art institutions for more diversity in exhibition offerings, notably through collaboration with their Western counterparts. We aim to facilitate the sharing of expertise and provide development opportunities for international institutions eager to engage with Asia.
A task force comprising influential and well-connected art professionals is committed to fulfilling the Foundation’s vision and mission. In the meantime, the Foundation will no doubt benefit from the guidance by an international advisory board of recognised and influential figures, as well as from the experience of an expert committee, consisting of members from renowned cultural institutions. To further enhance its expertise and capabilities, the Foundation has forged an exclusive partnership with Manifesto, a prestigious arts and culture consultancy.
The Foundation for Art and Culture functions both as a hub of new opportunities for partners willing to share best practices and offer impactful collective initiatives, and also as a networking platform to facilitate meaningful exchanges.
