About ACAW
This web archive traces the evolution of Asia Contemporary Art Week (ACAW), which became Asia Contemporary Art Forum (ACAF) in 2019. Since its founding in 2002, ACAW worked to bridge gaps in the field of contemporary art, with a focus on promoting a deeper understanding of Asian art and culture in the United States and beyond. Through its curatorial programs, ACAW fostered connections and collaborations across diverse artistic communities and audiences.
ACAW’s initiatives brought together leading New York-based and Asia-based art institutions, museums, and galleries, presenting groundbreaking exhibitions, innovative projects, and thought-provoking discussions on current issues. Additionally, ACAW created invaluable networking opportunities, solidifying its role as a key platform for cultural exchange between Asia and the United States.
