Visiting BAN7 exhibition partner organization, Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco, and artist Summer Mei Ling Lee.

The Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco was founded in 1965 to spark intercultural discovery through art, education, and engagement to preserve, promote, and influence Chinese art and culture. The Chinese Culture Center (CCC), its primary program site, opened in 1973. For nearly 50 years, CCC Visual Arts has played a pioneering role in introducing Chinese culture to the American public through exhibitions and public programming across a broad spectrum of Chinese traditional and contemporary artistic works in multiple disciplines. CCC Visual Arts is dedicated to risk-taking and innovative artwork to push the imagination and cultural perceptions of the visitor's experience. Over the past five years, CCC Visual Arts has been anchored by "Xian Rui" (Fresh and Sharp) Artist In Excellence Series, an annual solo exhibition featuring exceptional but under-recognized and under-represented artists to give viewers a renewed appreciation and fresh perspective on contemporary Chinese culture.



Through the work of artists who capture the spirit of "now," YBCA's signature triennial, Bay Area Now, brings to life current perspectives for both this art center and the regional art scene. In its seventh edition, BAN7 is experimenting with a new approach to curating that highlights collaborations with our region's artists and arts organizations and pushes beyond presentation toward a multidisciplinary celebration of the diversity of artistic practices in the Bay Area.

BAN7's core idea is to decentralize the curatorial process, and centralize the public presentation of some of the most exciting artistic voices in the region today.

As a common shared site for the presentation of works, BAN7 aims to create a lucid web of creative activity in the Bay Area. Our vision to create a platform for new work and experimentation is rooted in the belief that a decentralized curatorial process will open up an opportunity for a wider range of voices and create spaces for dialogue beyond the arts.

The visual arts component of Bay Area Now 7 has been reconceived through an open and rigorous selection process. By inviting noncommercial, small- to mid-size regional visual arts organizations to curate site-specific projects with Bay Area artists in YBCA's galleries, we are making visible the rich complexity of our many arts communities. Using an art fair style format in which the selected participants curate projects for specific locations throughout an exhibition space, BAN7 celebrates visual arts organizations as vital players in the local arts ecology. The exhibition aims to foster increased appreciation for Bay Area art, artists, and organizers, and to promote a greater understanding of the vast range of practices and individual visions that make the Bay Area such a vibrant center for contemporary art.
