Bridging the East and West through Curated Events

Based in Beijing and Paris, Doors 门艺 is a platform for art and culture exchange between China and the West. Doors acts as a consulting agency, an art curator, and a cultural producer and promoter.

Founded in 2017, it was created to respond to the growing demand for cultural dialogue between China and the West. Traditionally and until recently, cultural exchanges between China and the West remained a diplomatic matter. The agency was born from the observation that there were virtually no professionals active on the ground to help fill the gap between a growing demand for cultural content in China, and France’s willingness to export its exceptional cultural heritage.
The mission of our agency is to open doors and facilitate the conversation between China and Europe, through creative events and innovative projects.

We conceive, produce and promote cultural events in China and France, in a range of fields, working closely with artists, institutions and companies. We help European institutions and art companies bring their programs and develop their presence in China. We promote Chinese contemporary creation in Europe. We advise brands and corporate clients on their cultural marketing strategy.
