Tower Auditorium, 621 Huntington Avenue, Boston MA

Yng-Ru Chen is the Founder and CEO of the Boston-based Praise Shadows Art Gallery, a hybrid space emphasizing exhibitions by emerging and mid-career contemporary artists, a retail space for art books and lower-value works made by artists, and mentorship for young talent. She also oversees Praise Shadows Art Partners, which works closely with artists to develop opportunities in emerging models of creativity and entrepreneurship — exhibitions, commissions, brand partnerships, new technologies, original concepts that no one has ever tried before. She previously worked at MoMA P.S.1, Sotheby's, Asia Society, and Tattly.
