A4美术馆

A4 Art Museum is at the hilltop plaza of Luzhen, 18 Section 2 of Lushan Avenue, Tianfu New Area, Chengdu. Founded in 2008 by Chengdu Wanhua Investment Group, it registered in July 2016 as a non-profit private museum and moved its main venue from Luhu to Luzhen in 2023 after a renovation led by TianTong Architecture; the museum covers about 4,200 square metres in a Tuscan-style hilltop setting. A second venue, A4X Art Center, occupies the Luhu Eco-City exhibition centre on Tianfu Avenue, designed by American architect Antoine Predock. A4's mission is to connect people and activate creativity through art, with a programme focused on international and local exchange, new media and community art. It now operates four brands: A4 Art Museum, A4 Kids, the A4 International Residency Art Center and A4X Art Center, and runs the iSTART Children's Art Festival, the Young Artists Experimental Season, the Young Curators Programme and community art seasons. It has worked with nearly 500 artists, more than 40 curators and 28 institutions, staging over 80 exhibitions and close to 2,000 events. It generally opens Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00-18:00; telephone 028-85761265. It is also a key node in Chengdu's contemporary art ecology, backing younger southwest artists and curators. The move to Luzhen marked a new phase in its community-based work.
