The Taiwanese American Arts Council (TAAC) was established in 2014 to carry forward the mission of the Taiwanese Art Endowment Fund, which spurred the creation of a named Taiwan Gallery at the Queens Museum of Art. TAAC aims to provide assistance to Taiwanese artists, scholars, and specialists in the arts across all U.S. states and counties in Taiwan. The council supports cultural and artistic leaders in different fields, makes cross-disciplinary creative awards, organizes artistic programs, and builds alliances with American cultural organizations. It was founded through the collaborative vision of community leaders Dr. Lung Fong Chen (陳隆豐), Thomas Chen (陳秋貴), and Patrick Huang (黃再添), alongside curator Luchia Meihua Lee (no wiki page yet) and printmaking pioneer Prof. Liao Shiou Ping (廖修平).
