本色美术馆坐落于中国苏州，是陈翰星先生私人投资兴建并由专业团队经营管理的非赢利艺术文化机构，主要致力于推广中国当代艺术在试验性方面的探索，并试图在多种艺术形式上进行跨界的积极尝试，涉及绘画，雕塑，装置，行为艺术，摄影，录像，建筑，设计，音乐等方面。本色美术馆以“二十一世纪的东方美学”为主要学术方向，通过策划主题展览，举办学术讲座等各种途径，发掘当代中国，乃至亚洲地区的艺术新力量，梳理突破传统的艺术新思路，力求多角度，多层面集中展现中国及亚洲地区当代艺术的整体风貌。
本色美术馆与本土及世界各地的艺术机构建立长期沟通与合作关系，定期进行互访及展览合作，增进彼此的互相了解。其中驻馆艺术家计划给来自世界各地，尤其是中国本土的优秀青年艺术家提供了创作，沟通及展示的平台。
本色美术馆位于运河畔，依水而建，占地面积13亩，主体造型为三个立方体相连而成，外立面用100多万块青砖凹凸拼贴而成，青灰色质感使整个建筑气势内敛而又饱含张力，与周边河流，湖泊，民居等自然生态相得益彰。
作为对外开放的公共艺术空间，本色美术馆拥有超过8000平方米的展览空间，在功能上有明确的区域划分，包括入口大厅、主题展区、影像厅，办公区、艺术家工作室及公寓、会员俱乐部、咖啡厅、艺术品商店等。空间之间巧妙连接而相对独立，适合大展及主题个展。环保概念与风水学在建筑理念中充分凸显，古木、老砖的大面积应用使整个建筑古朴自然，传统元素与当代观念在这里完美结合。
本色美术馆第一期主体工程于2008年底建成并对外开放，二期艺术广场正在紧张筹备当中，预计两年内完工。
