Agnes Lin is the founder and Director of the Osage Art Foundation. Founded in Hong Kong in 2004, the Osage Art Foundation is an international not-for-profit philanthropic organisation devoted to building creative communities and promoting cultural cooperation. The foundation aims to bring to the art world new voices, new vision and new ideas; to present art that spurs the imagination; to present work that addresses local issues, national concerns, and universal themes and work that celebrates diversity and difference. The foundation raises funds and supports a range of programs that help young people come to a better understanding and appreciation of art and help improve relations between people of different cultures. Through its activities, the foundation aims to increase community participation in the arts through education and better access and understanding in order to help shape a future in which the arts play a vital role in everyday life.
