The East West Bank Art Program began 20 years ago with a mission to share contemporary Asian art with a wider audience — to foster greater cultural understanding, encourage meaningful dialogue, and help bridge the East and the West through the universal language of art. Since then, it has grown into a dynamic platform that reflects and supports the communities we serve. The program now plays an active role in sustaining the ecosystems that make art possible.
To celebrate 20 years of the East West Bank Art Program, watch our new short film, Building Bridges Through Art, which traces this evolution and celebrates the power of art to connect, inspire, and transform.
In Building Bridges Through Art, cultural leaders share how East West Bank’s support of artists and institutions plays a meaningful role in nurturing the creative community.
