About Us
Learn more about our mission, vision, and the team behind Ignite Studio
Founded in 2021, Ignite Studio serves as an official partner of the Exhibition Department of the National Cultural Heritage Administration of China. We act as a bridge, connecting China's cultural institutions with the world's most prestigious cultural resources. By collaborating with leading global art museums, literary foundations, film, and fashion industries, we help Chinese cultural institutions such as state-owned museums, private art centers, and commercial art spaces access and showcase world-class art and cultural treasures.
Our mission is not to focus solely on promoting any single culture, but to create innovative projects that link international cultural resources with Chinese institutions. Through these collaborations, we aim to present the finest global cultures to Chinese audiences, while expanding market opportunities and fostering deeper cultural exchange.
