UCCA is China'​ s leading independent institution of contemporary art. Founded in 2007 out of a commitment to bring Chinese contemporary art into global dialogue, it has since become a cultural landmark for Beijing, a conduit for international exchange, and an incubator for new talent. Located at the heart of the 798 Art District, it welcomes more than one million visitors a year. Originally known as the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, UCCA underwent a major restructuring in 2017 and now operates as the UCCA Group, comprising two distinct entities: UCCA Foundation, a registered non-profit that organizes exhibitions and research, stages public programs, and undertakes community outreach; and UCCA Enterprises, a family of art-driven retail and educational ventures. UCCA'​ s work grows from its core belief that new art can change lives, broaden perspectives, and enrich the conversation between China and the world.作为中国领先的独立艺术机构，成立于2007年的UCCA致力于将中国前瞻性的艺术推向国际，现已成为北京的文化地标、国际交流的渠道和培养新人才的沃土。UCCA位于北京798艺术区核心地带，每年接待超过100万名观众。机构原名尤伦斯当代艺术中心，在2017年经历重大重组后，现以UCCA集团的形式运营，旗下包括两个独立运作的实体：UCCA基金会为注册非营利机构，美术馆在基金会支持下策划展览、开展研究、呈现公共项目并承担更广泛的社区服务职责；UCCA企业则基于艺术，在儿童艺术教育和零售业领域开展一系列商业尝试。UCCA始终践行机构的核心理念：艺术能够深入并改善生活，而中国能从全球对话中获益并为之做出贡献。
