About Asia Art Archive

With one of the most valuable growing collections, freely available from our website and onsite library, AAA builds tools and communities to collectively expand knowledge through research, residency, and educational programmes. Our collection comprises a vast range of documentation, including the personal archives of significant artists, educators, and art professionals, as well as key exhibitions and art spaces. Our library houses our physical collection, which encompasses reference books, monographs, exhibition catalogues, periodicals, and rare ephemeral materials. 

We activate the collection by organising talks, workshops, conferences, symposia, residencies, and research grants; presenting regular programming and partnering with arts initiatives; creating teaching resources and partnering with educational institutions to look at how art is taught; and by commissioning and publishing essays and conversations. These programmes and partnerships generate new ideas and connections that fuel future collections and projects. 

As AAA celebrates its twentieth anniversary, we are grateful for everyone’s continued support in making a more generous art history possible.
