At the start of 2014. several art lovers joined together to realize their common vision and started the Tianmei Art Foundation. The goal of the foundation is to broaden the vision of Taiwan's contemporary artists and to allow them to connect with contemporary art trends around the world. Each of the founders hope to contribute his or her resources to form this foundation and strive to enhance the contemporary art of Taiwan both now and far into the future. The plan in the initial stage of the foundation is to organize annually an overseas trip for Taiwanese artists to visit the contemporary art events around the world just as they happen. Participants can see art, meet artists and even learn from behind the scenes. The Chinese name of the foundation translated literally is sky or heaven (Tian) and beauty (Mei). There is an abundance of beauty under the heaven; Tianmei Art Foundation hopes Taiwan's contemporary art can intersect with it. Our world is broad but our vision is even broader; starting from Taiwan, we can feel the pulse of lands beyond our shores, and from a global perspective, look back to see the endless possibilities for contemporary art in Taiwan.
