Through the develop- ment of curatorial, commercial, and educational events under a single organizational umbrel- la, Fung Collaboratives fosters the collaboration of both emerging and established artists in intimate and ambitious projects with domestic and international settings. Founded by Lance Fung in 1999, the mission of Fung Collaboratives has always been to explore and develop the most interesting conversations possible between and through the arts. Initially formed in conjunction with Lance Fung's curatorial efforts on behalf of his New York City gallery, Fung Collaboratives has since expanded in scope and vision, committing itself to curating intellectually rigorous and visually stimulating exhibitions that are also acces- sible to a mainstream audience. All too often, the art worid is perceived as elitist, insulated, and closed off from the wider viewing public; Fung Collabortives intends to shift this general impression of the art world to one of inclusion and openness. in past exhibitions, such as The Snow Show, both art professionals and members of the public have responded strongly to the works of art present- ed, allowing a very interesting discourse to evolve between and among all concerned. This unique focus on collaborative experiences frees Fung Collaboratives to chalienge the participants, the viewers, and its own expectations and assumptions. Fung Collaboratives works closely with galleries, museums, curators, critics, universities, and patrons from around the worid, and plans to channel their efforts into unique projects at exciting and diverse ven- ues, reaching an audience that ranges from the most sophisticated art follower to the com- plete novice.
