Welcome to the Qinghai Regong Art and Culture Foundation

China - Qinghai's - official foundation for Tibetan Cultural Art and Heritage
Regong Art Foundation

Purpose

The Qinghai Regong Art and Culture Foundation was established to preserve Regong Art and importantly to help the improvished Tibetan people of the western part of Qinghai that borders Tibet. This area is the place where Regong art is founded and also one of the key areas of Tibetan Culture. Politically this area is also know as Huangnan Tibetan Autonomos region.

Modernization has been slowly eroding away many indigenious art and Regong Art is under lots of pressure. The area of Huangnan region is very poor with yearly income of most poeple to be less than 200USD. There are many people that make less than 100USD a year. This is barely subsistance level as defined by the United Nations for the people to survive, however with their faith the people here continue to struggle against hardship with diginity and continue to practice their culture! The geography of the plateau is very demanding and limited in diversity for food. The Tibetans have a very harsh life yet from this they lead a peaceful life and has kept their Art and tradition alive.

Regong Art and Tangka is a way of life for the Tibetans. They paint their religion and derive an income from this. The process of making everything by hand in a traditional method adds to the value of the Tangka. These paintings are coveted because of its religious value and also beauty and are sold for thousands of USD. There are also many imitation that are printed.

Our goal are quite simple:

to preserve and promote Regong Art
to help the Tibetan people of the region

Our plans are much more demanding:

to bring to the world true Regong Art
to build an arts training center
to build an orphanage
to build a network of friends and benefactors

All donations and charity are welcome. From the basics to items such as computers, books, clothing etc.. will be appreciated.

For Tangkas we have set some guidlines and hope that people willing to make a specific donation for them.

We hope that with this website we are able to bring our cause to the people of the world and also bring the world to the people in the Huangnan region.

Personally, as part of this foundation I wish to make everyone's live better. Please join us in our dream.

Sincerely,

Zhang Le Sheng
