Terrific Art Direct, Bring Real Art Closer
Terrific Art Direct is an artist-run service group that provides professional artist interviews, exhibition reviews, and exhibition opportunities for emerging and mid-career artists. Our mission is to create meaningful visibility and support for creative voices worldwide. Terrific Art Direct is proudly based in Chicago, USA.
Founded in Jan 2021, it began initially as "Avant-Garde Sisters", later as “Avant-Garde Art Projects 先锋艺术项目,” a premium column on the influential Chinese art media platform Artron Art Express (雅昌艺术头条), focusing on Chinese-language content. In November 2025, the English website Terrific Art Direct was created with the goal to expand the coverage in the English-speaking art world, connecting artists, audiences, and ideas across cultures. Through featured interviews, exhibition reviews, artist profiles, and cross-disciplinary dialogues, Terrific Art Direct and 先锋艺术项目 offers thoughtful criticism, accessible visibility, and pathways for creative growth in both Chinese and English art world.
