บทคัดย่อ
This article aims to investigate the challenges currently faced by private art museums run by renowned artists in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China. Private art museums in China have a relatively short history, and those run by individual famous artists are even rarer. However, these privately-owned museums, which are centered around the artist's personal collection, can serve as the smallest unit of the city's art ecosystem - the community art ecosystem. This study aims to identify the challenges facing private art museums run by renowned artists in Xi'an, determine their significance in the art ecosystem, and gather information through interviews with the managers of five well-known private art museums in the area. The researchers analyzed the information collected and found the following results:
Insufficient funding. The museums have limited fundraising capabilities and rely on a single source of funding.
Lack of policies, implementation, and unequal distribution of resources.
Underdeveloped art market and art education market.
Lack of stable, effective, and systematic promotion channels during the museum's growth period.
