Donate to us
Chinese Artists in America Network (CAAN) is a fiscally sponsored organization of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity. Contributions made payable to Fractured Atlas for the purposes of CAAN are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
CAAN is dedicated to promoting the voices and expressions of the Chinese expat artists in the United States, and helping them form an effective network for opportunities and equality. Although the number of Chinese students has been increasing at an accelerated rate among international students in North America, those who practice studio/theoretical art remain relatively few and marginalized. In a milieu where the social neglection makes it hard to allocate necessary resources to these young talents, we aim to establish an artist-run organization to support the artists and their unique talents. We want to help them get more opportunities, establish communities and make more friends.
Thank you for helping CAAN artists!
Join us in building a community where Chinese young artists can get more exposures and support each other. With your partnership and support, we can create more events that bring people together and engage with culture and audiences. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s events!
