The Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (UCCA) in Beijing is a not-for-profit, independent art center, one of the first to be developed in China. Recognizing multiple geographic and cultural perspectives, UCCA is creating a platform for dialogue around current social and artistic experiences.

UCCA's three galleries will present a variety of exhibitions of contemporary art from China and abroad, including major solo shows of mid-career and established artists, and group exhibitions that explore the recent developments in art practice. That supports the development of new work for exhibition from emerging artists based in China. Extending the art program beyond the exhibition halls, Recognizing the importance of responding to a new generation of artists, UCCA has initiated an Experimental Project SeriesUCCA Site Commissions provides opportunities for Chinese and international artists to make site-sensitive works throughout the building. Through developing partnerships, the Center is engaging in collaborative projects with international organizations. These seek to expand professional networks for local artists, while facilitating the exchange of ideas for exhibitions, research residencies and events at UCCA and other art centers around the world.
