Bridgeman Images is proud to announce the formal expansion of its presence across Greater China, marking an exciting new chapter in the company's international growth. Celebrated with the opening of the Bridgeman Art Space and a landmark immersive exhibition at the China Art Museum, this expansion reflects our long-term commitment to supporting the creative industries through trusted art licensing, copyright expertise and international cultural collaboration.

Developed in partnership with Trends Brand Management (TBM), China's leading art licensing service provider, the new regional presence will provide publishers, brands, museums, designers, educators and media organisations with local expertise and direct access to Bridgeman Images' world-renowned archive of fine art, photography, illustration and historical media.
The inaugural exhibition perfectly mirrors Bridgeman Images' dual legacy of honouring historical archive preservation while embracing digital innovation. Hosted within one of China's most important cultural institutions, the exhibition combines iconic artworks with immersive experiences, demonstrating how the world's artistic heritage continues to inspire contemporary creativity.

At the heart of this international expansion is a deep, strategic collaboration with Trends Brand Management. By combining Bridgeman Images' unparalleled global archive of art, photography and historical media with TBM's extensive regional expertise, the partnership establishes a robust, highly localised support network for creative professionals across Greater China.

"Launching this regional presence at an institution as iconic as the China Art Museum is a testament to the universal power of visual storytelling. In partnering with Trends Brand Management, we aren't just opening up access to a world-class archive, we are actively fostering international cultural exchange and equipping local industries with the authenticated legal frameworks they need to thrive."
Martin Hasselbring, Director of International Partnerships.
The launch of the Bridgeman Art Space represents far more than a regional office expansion. It signifies our long-term commitment to a thriving global creative community. By establishing roots in Shanghai, Bridgeman Images is uniquely positioned to support the evolving demands of copyright compliance, image licensing and artistic collaboration within one of the world's fastest-growing creative markets.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the team at Trends Brand Management and the cultural leaders of Shanghai who made this unforgettable opening night possible. We look forward to building lasting partnerships across Greater China and continuing to connect the world's creative communities through art.
