A Stage for Asian Voices. A Bridge to Global Audiences.
About Us
The Asian Academy of Arts is an international non-profit organization committed to the study and global promotion of Asian art and culture. Established in 2012 in Hainan, China, the Academy relocated its headquarters to Hong Kong in 2023 and is now officially registered in London, UK. With satellite offices across New York, Paris, Osaka, Singapore, New Zealand, and beyond, the Academy serves as a dynamic bridge between Asia and the world.
Our Mission
Through academic research, curatorial programs, the Asian Emerging Artist List, international charity galas, and cross-cultural initiatives, we foster meaningful dialogue across disciplines, geographies, and generations. We are dedicated to amplifying Asian artistic voices and highlighting their enduring relevance in shaping contemporary society.
