Hong Foundation For the past 50 years, Hong Foundation has helped to pioneer innovations in the educational and cultural sectors since 1971, encouraging the creation of non-profit, experimental, and diverse art and performances. Throughout the 70s, the Foundation introduced the public to literary criticism through the publication of the Shu Ping Shu Mu Review of Books and Bibliography magazine, established Taiwan’s first audio-visual library, as well as sponsored the release of campus folk music albums which brought about a revival of the genre. During the rapid economic boom of Taiwan in the 80s, Hong Foundation’s Culture for Business Academy led the way in integrating humanistic learning and business philosophy. The Minlong Forum, conceived of in the 90s, fostered humanities education and an adult reading culture. Starting in 2014, a series of arts sponsorship initiatives were launched to support artistic creators across all disciplines through commissions and direct sponsorships. For the next 50 years, Hong Foundation will continue to encourage and support avant-garde concepts and creations, so that this progressive attitude may take root, sprout, and spread throughout all industries and aspects of society. We hope to foster an environment where creation can nurture and invigorate businesses, industries, and society as a whole.
