MISSION AND HISTORY

The Asian Art Coordinating Council (AACC) was incorporated in 1987 as a non-profit organization dedicated to generating new bonds of understanding between Asians and Americans through art and cultural programs. AACC's mission is to serve as a bridge to the discovery of the many traditional arts and cultures of Eastern societies. By devoting its resources to organizing exhibits, educational programs, and providing networking services, the AACC reaches out to people from all walks of life with programs of educational and cultural value.

PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES

The AACC's goal is to reach out to people from all walks of life and to serve as a bridge to the discovery of the arts and cultures of Asia. To this end, AACC's ongoing programs are divided into four areas: (1) Traveling Exhibitions and Educational Programs; (2) Asian Resource Services; (3) Student Internship Programs; and (4) Asia Networking Services.

CONTEMPORARY ASIAN ART EXHIBITIONS SERIES

AACC is best known for developing and implementing the annual Contemporary Asian Art Exhibition series (CAAE), the only event of its kind in the US featuring contemporary Asian art. Each year since 1990 the AACC has worked in conjunction with museums and non-profit galleries to present these exhibits and accompanying educational programs. Art from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, and Japan have been featured.
