Beijing's Prominent Art Gallery Provides a Unique Portal into Chinese Art Culture

Red Gate Gallery stands alone as the oldest and most respected contemporary art gallery in China. Founded by Brian Wallace in 1991, this breathtaking exhibition space is Beijing's first private contemporary art gallery. Located in Dongbianmen, Red Gate Gallery is set in the historic 600 year old Ming Dynasty watchtower - the only structure to survive the destruction of the city wall. Collections featured in the gallery present articles of China's contemporary artistic expression in conjunction with traditional influence. Through his connections to the Chinese Art Community, Mr. Wallace established the premier artist residency program in 2001 which exhibits the best of Chinese contemporary art while facilitating cultural exchange and dialogue between China and the rest of the world.
