Founded by Dr. Adrian Cheng in 2010, the K11 Art Foundation is a non-profit organisation in Hong Kong dedicated to nurturing emerging Asian artists on the international art scene while fostering the development of contemporary art.
In pursuing its mission, the K11 Art Foundation organises a diverse range of art projects, including exhibitions, artist residencies, and educational programmes, providing platforms for artists to showcase their talents, embark on new endeavours, and engage in exchanging ideas. Many of these projects are presented in partnership with leading art and cultural institutions around the globe, which enables meaningful cross-cultural collaborations among emerging and established artists, esteemed curators, and other industry specialists. Through its efforts, the K11 Art Foundation actively contributes to broadening audiences’ creative horizons, strengthening the connections among different art communities.
