PROGRAMS
Cultural Heritage Initiatives
We are dedicated to preserving and revitalizing cultural memory that is at risk of disappearing. From recording oral histories to documenting traditional crafts, lifeways, and rituals, and presenting them through curated exhibitions, we seek to keep these living legacies vibrant today. Through these efforts, we not only safeguard traditions but also open a window of understanding for new generations.
Aisin Gioro International Art Prize
As an independent, non-commercial award, we recognize contemporary artistic practices that embody cultural depth and creative vision. Beyond granting honors, the prize also offers visibility through annual anthologies and curated exhibitions, bringing artists’ work into the international spotlight. It serves as a bridge between past and future, tradition and innovation.
Public Education
Culture can only endure when it is shared. Through lectures, workshops, and public courses, we bring history and art into broader civic spaces, creating opportunities for resonance and reflection across generations. From school partnerships to wider community programs, our goal is to make cultural resources more open and accessible to all.
As part of our commitment to open cultural learning, we also offer public conversations about broader higher-education pathways. These sessions share general perspectives within a spirit of openness, curiosity, and community learning. Held as group-based, non-advisory discussions, they reflect our belief that knowledge—like culture—is strongest when it is shared freely and made accessible to all.
Legacy Publishing & Archives
Our publishing and archival work documents the contemporary face of art and culture while providing a reliable record for the future. From scroll-format annuals and research catalogues to artistic anthologies and cross-cultural volumes, these works are collected by museums and libraries worldwide. Through this body of work, we transform today’s creativity into tomorrow’s heritage.
Youth Engagement
Nurturing the next generation stands at the heart of our mission.
Our youth engagement initiatives draw upon the richness of cultural heritage, artistic expression, and academic inquiry, offering young people pathways to develop their voice, confidence, and sense of identity.
Through a range of open and diverse programs—from Debate and Public Speaking to visual-arts appreciation, martial arts, and music—we encourage young people to explore creativity in many forms. Each initiative focuses not only on skill development, but on nurturing imagination, cultural awareness, and the shared values that connect communities across traditions.
By bringing together artistic practice, thoughtful dialogue, and cross-cultural understanding, we aim to support young people in cultivating character, resilience, and a lifelong curiosity for learning. These programs serve as bridges between generations, honoring the past while empowering the cultural voices of the future.
Music Outreach
Music is one of the most immediate forms of connection. We bring live performance into parks, elder homes, cultural venues, and public gatherings, allowing people of diverse backgrounds to share in the power of art. These events are not only about listening, but also about comfort, exchange, and the presence of art in everyday life.
