I. About Foundation

Tianjin Cathay Future Culture and Art Foundation is a public welfare social organization. After being approved by the Tianjin Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau, it was established by a group of social celebrities who love and aim to develop and prosper the culture and art cause of teenagers and children. Since its establishment in April 1993, the Foundation has been firmly adhering to its mission of “All for Children” and playing a positive role in broadening external cultural exchanges, demonstrating Chinese teenagers’ and children’s spirituality and artistic talent, and facilitating the healthy growth in both body and mind of teenagers and children.

From the visit to Indonesia in 1995 to the performance in Qatar in 2013, the Foundation’s subordinated organization, Children’s Art Troupe, has successfully completed its tour tasks of the “World Tour” with thousands of performances in hundreds of countries and regions. In the past 20 years, with 380 programs, the Children’s Art Troupe has traveled 2,291,725 kilometers to perform in 410 cities and towns of 121 countries and regions around the world and was kindly received by 36 heads of state in person. Through the performance of the Cathay Future, more than 200,000 overseas Chinese see the bright future of their motherland, over millions of foreign audiences have got familiar with Tianjin, and tens of thousands of media reports from the five continents keep focusing on the Children’s Troupe’s “World Tour”. These children’s footprints have covered more than 30 SOS Children’s Villages, orphanages, and remote and poverty-stricken areas. With the olive branch endowed by the Tianjin people, “Cathay Future”, also honored as the “Angel of Peace and Friendship”, is like a peace dove soaring among the nations of the world and across the five continents, building friendships with people of different skin colors and distributing the brilliant calling card of Tianjin.

The Tianjin International Children’s Culture and Art Festival was initiated in 1998, which is formerly known as Cathay Future Children’s Art Festival. With the goals of advancing and enriching the sense of patriotism and national spirit, it contrives to provide a platform for teenagers to demonstrate their artistic talent and promote the art exchange for children at home. Since 1998, the Festival has been held 10 sessions sponsored by the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and Tianjin Municipal People’s Government and organized by Cathay Future Culture and Art Foundation. In total, the Festival has invited many children’s arts organizations from more than 30 provincial-level administrative regions in China and nearly a hundred countries. Themed by “Peace, Friendship, Future”, the previous sessions aimed to facilitate international exchange with a series of colorful activities and events, such as large-scale art performance galas, international children’s happy city activities, world children’s art exhibitions, Chinese and foreign children’s art groups shows, Chinese and foreign children’s journey to the Great Wall, and the world forum for art development of children.
