The Scholarship will be to support College students of fine arts and related subjects by encouraging the creation and study of all forms of fine art and related subjects through financial grants and other means.

[Liu Shiming Art Foundation @lsmartfund]

Late sculptor Liu Shiming worked on a sculpture in his studio. He considered the Silk Road as about the inner journey of embarking into the unknown. @lsmartfund hopes the sculpture will inspire AUC students to reflect on their own life's journey, both on campus and beyond.
