This photo was taken when AAAC first moved to Norfolk St in 2010 and left our Arts Centre of thirty four years at 26 Bowery. Now 111Norfolk St is no longer and AAAC will relocate to a soon to be announced site.

Stewardship and future programming has been entrusted to Think!Chinatown (T!C). This partnership with T!C – begun in 2018 with Art Across Archives - guides the Arts Centre towards becoming a community arts research hub which will establish a physical space for research, foster scholarly exploration of Asian American art and history, and expand the Arts Centre's collection.

In this way our mission since 1974 continues: to address the distinctive concerns of Asian Americans in the United States, to promote the preservation and creative vitality of Asian American cultural growth through the arts, and its historical and aesthetic linkage to other communities.
