In old Chinese, YUAN means the start of everything. Established in the spring of 2012, the art space was named YUAN because we want to embrace art with the passion of newborn babies, and face visitors with the sincerity of beginners.

YUAN Space is a non-profit organization dedicated to art promotion. We endeavor to present top-notch exhibitions to the public, and to make it possible that gallery-goers in China have access to rarely seen masterpieces. We will also hold related activities and public lectures to show a piece’s significance in the history of art.

We believe that an ideal art space plays the part of a sanctuary for the human spirit. Visitors may come whenever they want and spend some time with art in serenity. Their stay here will help them to get away from confusion and anxiety, and recharge themselves with hope. For all these reasons, YUAN Space finds its location in the city center area Beijing, enjoying the peace of suburbs while keep away with the hustle and bustle of a metropolis.
