Tung Ho Steel Foundation
Tung Ho Steel has supported the cultural and artistic activities in Taiwan for a long time and established the Tung Ho Steel Foundation to enhance the cultural and artistic literacy of the public. Tung Ho Steel Foundation has worked on the improvement of the cultural and artistic literacy of people in Taiwan, cultivation of talents in art, promotion of art education, and development of cultural and creative industries, and organizes and sponsors various cultural and artistic events, and promotes the integration of the steel industry and culture since its establishment. We have actively organized the Artist Residency Program. We have invited artists to enter Miaoli Works for the creation of steel sculptures, which is one of the important cases of cooperation between enterprises and artists in Taiwan, and the works were also awarded the Best Creativity Award of the 10th Art & Business Awards by the Ministry of Culture. In 2022, the foundation launched the Alchemy Project – MELT (Metal Engineering Leading to Tectonics), and held a press conference to build a diversified platform for exchanges, facilitate cooperation in related industries, cultivate steel structure design talents, promote the application of steel structure buildings and contribute to social life applications to develop a new architectural vision.
The 8th Tung Ho Steel International Artist Residency Program in 2024 invited Taiwanese artist, Tsong Pu and Japanese artist, Miwa Yanagi to the Artist Residency Program to create artworks. The Tung Ho Steel International Artist Residency Program invited nearly 500 people in art groups and teachers & students from many schools in Miaoli County to visit the works of the residency program under the theme of “Ning Shi Ling Shan” (literally “Gazing upon the sacred mountain”). In addition, to actively promote the results of the creations of this residency program, the steel sculptures are exhibited in other places or loaned for display to expand the art appreciation population and bring steel art into people’s daily life.
Ho Chin Tui Foundation
Ho Chin Tui Foundation was established in 1975, and has been committed to rewarding young students excellent in conduct and learning as well as diligent students from disadvantaged families since its establishment. Due to the changes in the social environment later on, it was rare for students to discontinue their studies for poverty. Therefore, Ho Chin Tui Award was set up in 1991 to provide rewards to outstanding scholars who have been making long-tern efforts and significant contributions to the development of the industries and economy in Taiwan in four major fields, including basic science (mathematical physics and biology), material science, metallurgy and environmental protection. A new category in Sustainable Architecture has been added to reward outstanding contributors in related fields.
The Ho Chin Tui Foundation is dedicated to promoting academic research, encouraging emerging scholars, and supporting public welfare initiatives in education, culture, and academic pursuits. We hope to nurture talented people, encourage students to work hard, be willing to recommend talented people, and give back to society. The substantial rewards include the awarding of Medal of Honor and rewards of NTD 600,000. As of the end of 2024, there have been a cumulative of 185 winners of this award.
