Sunpride Foundation

The Sunpride Foundation became a Patron of CIMAM, in February 2023.

Sunpride Foundation was founded in Hong Kong in 2014 by Patrick Sun, with a goal to raise awareness and respect for the LGBTQ community through art. In 2017, Sunpride Foundation and the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei co-hosted Spectrosynthesis - Asian LGBTQ Issues and Art Now, the first LGBTQ-themed exhibition staged in a public art museum in Asia. Two years later, the foundation and Bangkok Art and Culture Centre co-organised Spectrosynthesis II – Exposure of Tolerance: LGBTQ in Southeast Asia, marking the largest-ever survey of regional contemporary art exploring LGBTQ creative history in Southeast Asia and beyond. In late 2022, the foundation and Tai Kwun Contemporary co-presented the latest iteration of the Spectrosynthesis series titled Myth Makers—Spectrosynthesis III in Hong Kong. Besides leading Sunpride Foundation as its founder and executive director, Patrick Sun also supports a number of major art institutions worldwide. He is a member of Tate’s Asia-Pacific Acquisitions Committee, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s Asian Art Circle, the M+ Council for New Art, a Founding Friend of Para Site, and more recently he joined Hong Kong Palace Museum as a Founding Patron and Asia Art Archive's Member of Collectors Circle.
