Take part in AAWAA's 35th anniversary and feature up to 2 images of your artwork in the upcoming exhibition, In the Presence of: Collective Histories of the Asian American Women Artists Association, at Berkeley Art Center (opening January 27th, 2024).

It's that time of year again! We are releasing a survey to AAWAA Members. Whoever finishes the survey will have a chance to win a pair of San Francisco museum tickets and more!

AAWAA is proud to recognize and celebrate the dedication and commitment of our long-term members. These members have been a part of the AAWAA community for at least 3 years, and their contributions to the organization and to the arts have been invaluable.

With AAWAA Members in mind, we are excited to announce the launch of a few resources, including a helpful FAQ page and AAWAA Discord Server for members!

In 1989, after the national meeting for the Women’s Caucus for Art, the Asian American Women Artists Association (AAWAA) was established by Betty Kano, Flo Oy Wong, and Moira Roth in San Francisco (fig. 5). Bing joined the group soon after. AAWAA is unique as one of the only arts organizations in the United States explicitly created to support Asian American women artists. Beyond organizing exhibitions and public programs, AAWAA also runs the Emerging Curators Program, which offers opportunities for Asian American women to gain experience in the curatorial realm. For AAWAA and many other Asian American art collectives, it is not just the representation of Asian Americans on museum walls that matters; they recognize the need for Asian Americans to occupy important roles as public and creative leaders within institutions and beyond.
