THE HUO FAMILY FOUNDATION AWARDS GRANTS TO THREE EXHIBITIONS AND LAUNCHES FIRST ARTS FELLOWSHIP
December 2025
The Huo Family Foundation is pleased to announce three new grants totaling $750,000, furthering its longstanding commitment to supporting the arts in London, New York, and for the first time in Hong Kong. These new grants will contribute to three major exhibitions scheduled for 2026 and launch the Foundation’s first arts fellowship.
The Foundation is awarding HKD 4,000,000 to M+ to establish the Huo Research Fellow, the Foundation’s first fellowship in the arts. The fellowship will support a researcher working on multiple exhibitions and projects that address local contexts in Hong Kong and Greater China, and deepen their ongoing artistic dialogue with France. This initiative underscores the Foundation’s dedication to fostering academic and cultural exchange between Asian and Western communities.
A grant of $100,000 has been awarded to The Metropolitan Museum of Art in support of an exciting exhibition opening in October 2026. Further details about the exhibition will be announced in Spring 2026.
The Foundation is granting £100,000 to the Hayward Gallery in support of two exhibitions: Chiharu Shiota: The Threads of Life and Yin Xiuzhen: Heart to Heart, running from 17 February to 3 May 2026. These will be the first important London surveys of Berlin-based Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota and Beijing-based sculptor and installation artist Yin Xiuzhen, highlighting the significance of both artists’ contributions to contemporary art.
