慶祝美國建國 250 周年暨紐約建城 400 周年
欣逢 2026 年美國建國 250 周年（AMERICA 250）與紐約建城 400 周年這一歷史性時刻，這不僅是美國及全球民主陣營的重要盛事，更是向國際社會展現臺灣豐厚文化底蘊與卓越軟實力的難得契機。
曾榮獲聯合國「全球寬容獎」及「寬容與和平文化大使」殊榮的旅美藝術家 Dr. TF Chen（陳錦芳博士），半世紀以來始終秉持其獨創的「五次元世界文化觀」與「新意象派（Neo-Iconography）」藝術語彙，透過「為人類而藝術（Art for Humanity）」的理念，致力於文化藝術創作與國民文化外交，並以藝術作為跨越國界、連結人心的重要橋梁。
為響應這一具有時代意義的歷史時刻，紐約陳錦芳文化館與財團法人陳錦芳文化藝術基金會特別策劃「Hope for America」全國巡迴特展，並於 2026 至 2027 年間陸續巡迴展出。本次展期自2026 年9月10日起至10 月 31 日止，誠摯邀請各界人士蒞臨參觀，共同感受藝術所傳遞的希望、和平與人文精神。
陳錦芳博士早年即投身海外民主運動，並曾參與世臺會等重要組織工作。一路走來，他將個人的生命歷程、臺灣的民主奮鬥經驗，以及對世界和平與人類文明的關懷，融入其獨具特色的藝術創作之中。
在美國建國 250 周年這一重要歷史節點，「Hope for America」不僅是一場藝術展覽，更是一場以文化連結臺灣與美國、以藝術凝聚海內外同胞情誼的文化交流活動。展覽透過陳博士跨越半世紀的藝術創作，彰顯臺灣人民堅毅不拔、追求自由民主的精神，也呈現臺灣文化對世界文明與人類共同價值的積極貢獻。
我們誠摯邀請您共襄盛舉，親臨展場感受藝術的力量，讓「Hope for America」成為凝聚僑心、深化臺美文化交流、展現臺灣文化軟實力的一股溫暖力量。

About the artist: Dr. TF Chen is an artist, art historian, author, and cultural visionary. Since 1964, he has advocated for a Global New Renaissance, a flowering of human brilliance through the arts. In 1969, he formulated his “Five-Dimensional World Culture View” and created Neo-Iconography — an approach that juxtaposes images from different eras and civilizations to celebrate a new world culture based in Love.• In 1970, he became the first painter to earn a PhD in Art History from the University of Paris (Sorbonne). In 2001, Chen received the Global Tolerance Award at the United Nations and was designated a Cultural Ambassador for Tolerance and Peace.• Creator of the Art for Humanity World Tour (2003–2020), promoting a global culture of peace.
At age 90, Dr. Chen continues his mission with the Hope for America touring exhibition. We are also producing a documentary about his life and art and planning the future TF Chen Art Museum. We warmly invite you to attend the exhibition and participate in these art projects.
