About Us
Where Asian Art Find Its Voice
Welcome to the Asia Art Council, a collective movement to connect, empower, and uplift the creative voices of Asia. More than a platform, AAC is a dynamic fraternity of artists, collectors, galleries, and cultural changemakers coming together to shape a new narrative for Asian art — one that’s inclusive, future-forward, and truly ours.
Our Mission
To empower artists at every stage, foster meaningful cross-border connections, and build an ecosystem where creativity, culture, and commerce thrive together. We are committed to making art accessible, appreciated, and celebrated — from the grassroots to the global stage.
Our Vision
To establish Asia Art Council as the most influential cultural force in the region.
Not just curating exhibitions, but shaping the future of how Asian art is created, taught, supported, and collected. We aim to build lasting impact by merging heritage with innovation, and policy with practice.
Our Community
AAC is a movement of inclusion. Right from student artists and independent creators to legendary masters and emerging curators. Whether you’re creating in a city studio or a rural village, you’re part of this powerful community. We are united by one belief: art should not be gated, it should be shared, supported, and celebrated.
