Shin Leh Yuan (which means New Paradise) Art Space is an artist's collective-operative gallery. Established in 1995, it's now on the seventeenth year. Members' change takes place every two years. In this way, we try to input new experience and experiment to both the creation of artwork and the operation of the art space. The core idea of running this space is to make it as a container, to infuse or to diffuse, to let things happen flowingly and flexibly. We hold exhibitions every month, along with artist slide shows and various art talks.
