Hope Wang

Hope Wang is a multimedia artist and creative entrepreneur based in Chicago, IL. Her practice explores memory, loss, and longing in the ever-shifting architectural landscape. She is interested in capturing what always feels out of reach: the last seconds of the sun setting against the factory wall, wavering shadows fluttering against the pavement, and the transient space between an open storefront and a shuttered one.

She is also the founding director of LMRM, a digital weaving project space, center for community resources, and gathering place which serves the textile art communities of Chicago. Most recently in 2023, she was awarded a Visual Arts Fellowship from the Luminarts Cultural Foundation, as well as a Chicago Community Fellowship Fund from the Breakout Foundation. Her work has been exhibited throughout the Midwest and beyond, which most recently includes the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee, WI and the Chinese American Museum of Chicago, IL. Wang holds a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
