These archival booklets document the history of Asia Contemporary Art Week (ACAW), a citywide platform in New York that has operated annually and biennially to showcase contemporary art from across all regions of Asia. 

With thousands of images of artworks, along with curatorial essays, video links, and program details, these archival materials offer valuable insight into the evolution of ACAW and its impact. With over 3,000 participating artists, many of whom have gained even further global recognition, this collection serves as a vital resource for artists, researchers, and anyone interested in the intersections of contemporary art from Asia and its diasporic cultural production and discourse.

Through exhibitions, performances, symposia, forums, and collaborative pop-up projects, ACAW has fostered critical conversations and artistic exchange. Over the years, it has connected leading institutions, museums, and galleries in New York and across Asia, bringing together established and emerging artists, curators, and cultural practitioners for in-depth explorations of contemporary art practices.
