The founder and leader of the organization is a member of the Union of Artists of the Republic of Kazakhstan and a member of the Eurasian Union of Artists, Zhamilya Taken.

The anniversary exhibition has a multi-layered, multifaceted title "To Live, to Believe, to Love", which is so characteristic of a subtle female creative soul. The members of the organization build their artistic picture of the world, in which timeless events of human life take place - happiness, the joy of meetings, motherhood and much more. The plans include the creation of a gallery, a creative workshop "Tan Sholpan".

The first exhibition of the fund was held in 1998 in the Tengri Umay gallery. Then the organization was a group of enthusiasts from 11 female artists. Among them are Zhamilya Taken, Aigul Khakimzhanova, Sangul Karzhaubaeva, Zhanat Koshen, Sarvar Nakisbekova, Saule Zhumasheva, Ardak Yusupova, Gulzhanat Kabizhanova, Khalida Myrzakhmetova, Fatima Zhumasheva and an artist from Canada. And already in 1999, the first International exhibition followed in Ankara (Turkey). After a long break, the fund resumed its work in 2019. However, during this period, the artists did not abandon their creative activities, presenting their work in other organizational formats, including at exhibitions of the Union of Artists.

Now the Tan Sholpan Foundation unites more than 70 professional artists from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Austria, Germany, Canada, the USA, who have higher art education, working in various types of art: painting, graphics, decorative and applied art, sculpture. The names of many of them are familiar from city, republican, international exhibitions, they are all united by the search for their artistic language, expressiveness of form, plasticity, color and composition.

The goal of the organization is to promote the work of talented, extraordinary, creative women working in various types and genres of art in the domestic and international art space.
