The Latin-American Pavilion (LAP) is a space for the Development of Latin American Art/Culture in Asia, a place where the great masters encounter the emerging new artists of the American-Continent. Within The Latin-American Pavilion we find galleries which specialize in Latin-American Art with various origins in Asia, Europe, North America, and Latin America, all of which today exhibit through it, the works of renowned artists from the continent.

The LAP, a pioneer of its kind in Asia, has become a referring cornerstone for Latin-American culture in artistic Asian circles, bringing the best of what Latin-America has to offer, crossing land and water frontiers by building bridges to introduce the uniqueness of Latin-American Art to the Chinese households.
