WHAT IS AAAM?
The Asia Artists Association, Malaysia is dedicated to two fundamental missions: to advance academic exchange and artistic creation, preserving and innovating the rich tapestry of Asian art; and to foster harmony, progress, and peace across Asia and beyond through the unifying power of culture and the synergy of civilizations.
We are committed to building a dynamic platform for artists throughout Asia to learn, grow, and inspire one another. This initiative serves as a vital bridge for artistic dialogue and a bond that deepens friendship and cultural understanding among diverse communities. Through this platform, we embrace the responsibility of shaping the future of mainstream Asian art while honoring its diverse folk traditions and encouraging inclusive cultural exchange.
To date, the Association has established chapters in eleven regions: Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Bhutan, and the Philippines, with plans for further expansion.
