The TSMC Education and Culture Foundation has been devoted to the
promotion of arts and culture. Numerous sponsorships have set new
models between corporations and arts groups. The Foundation pioneered
cooperation between the corporate community and art groups in Taiwan
by sponsoring Cloud Gate Dance Theater. The sponsorship helped to born
Cloud Gate II and extend the development of Taiwan prominent art group.
Apart from actively assisting Taiwanese art groups in international
promotions, TSMC also invited the prestigious Berliner Philharmoniker,
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and other renowned musical groups to visit
Taiwan, and also sponsored "La Monde de Picasso", "Leonardo De Vinci
Exhibition", "The World of Heavenly Khan- Treasure of Tang Dynasty Exhibit",
"Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris - The Exhibition of Modern Art of
Paris" and "Millet -the Beauty of Countryside" renowned exhibitions and so
on. Further more, the Foundation regularly sponsors children in remote
townships to visit the exhibitions to plant a seed of artistic appreciation
in their heart.
TThe Foundation is committed to preserve Taiwan's cultural assets and
support the revitalization of historical sites. The foundation provided
funding for the restoration of the former American embassy, bringing
new life to the historical landmark that had been defunct for years.
It was reborn in the form of SPOT Film House, which becomes a celebrated
cultural showcase through its promotion of Taiwanese movies. We sponsored
"Hsinchu Temple Preservation Research" to keep the precious memory for
the descendants. We have also taken part in the historical landmark
revival management program spearheaded by the Museum of Contemporary
Art (MOCA) Taipei. It becomes a model for future developments and gains
wide recognition for their vibrant and exciting exhibits that attempt
to chart new trajectories for contemporary Taiwanese art. In the mean
time, the Foundation sponsored the Taipei Story House' Literature Salon,
which regularly invites authors to read on the site to add a new life to
the old building.
The Foundation also sponsored medias to produce various cultural and
educational programs. Since 2008 we sponsored IC Broadcasting Company
to invite the Master, Mr. Hsin I-Yun, to produce "Confucius' Analects
in Hsin's View". Through the broadcasting program we hope to bring the
society more humanity.
