He is the creator and lead director of World Wide Walls (formerly POW! WOW!), which is a non-profit organization of contemporary artists committed to community enrichment through the creation of art outreach programs, educational programs and engaging the community in the creation and appreciation of public art.

He is also the co-founder of a creative community center called LANA LANE STUDIOS.

Through his work as an artist and curator, Jasper Wong, has devoted his career to fostering new connections through art and reframing the conversations we have about space, both public and private, and how we can use art and NFTs as a tool to craft inclusive new communities.
