Yang Art Museum

Yang Art Museum

The Yang Art Museum (YAM) is a non-profit, comprehensive contemporary art institution. Through high-quality international art exhibitions, public education programs, and cutting-edge cultural explorations, it provides professional support and a platform for exchange for contemporary art practices, promoting the integration of art and culture with urban life. YAM is composed of exhibition spaces, academic discussion spaces, children’s education spaces, and the YAM Store. It is located in Beijing’s Solana lifestyle center and opened in 2015.

YAM collaborates with top-tier international art institutions, collectors, and artists to introduce significant contemporary art exhibitions from around the world, such as “Hidden Power” and the “Bologna Illustrators Exhibition,” presenting a unique perspective and stance that focuses on contemporary art and cutting-edge cultural trends. At the same time, YAM remains rooted in the local context, actively nurturing and supporting young artists. The museum will establish an “Artist Residency Program” and use its curatorial platform to foster the creative work of emerging artists.

YAM has created the “Art Life Workshop” series of public education programs, attracting the public and families to broaden their horizons, enhance sensitivity, and develop artistic creativity through learning, communication, and sharing. Meanwhile, through the YAM Store, the museum advocates for a spiritually aesthetic lifestyle with quality, integrating art into daily life through art derivatives and design products. All revenue from the YAM Store is used to support exhibitions and public education programs.

The organic integration of art, education, commerce, and public space enables YAM to create new vitality and appeal in promoting the dissemination and expression of contemporary art, learning and showcasing, as well as collaboration and knowledge production across cultures and art disciplines. With the Solana lifestyle center at its core, it helps elevate the area into a new cultural landmark of Beijing.
