About ASIA ART ARCHIVE IN AMERICA INCORPORATED
Asia Art Archive in America (AAAinA) is the U.S. 501(c)(3) arm of the Hong Kong–based Asia Art Archive and has operated as an independent nonprofit since 2009. Its stated work is to collect, preserve, and make accessible materials on contemporary art from and of Asia, and to activate those collections through public programs, exhibitions, residencies, screenings, and workshops. AAAinA maintains a public reading room in Brooklyn that provides free access to thousands of monographs, exhibition catalogues, periodicals, and audio‑visual items alongside an extensive digitized holdings infrastructure (the organization reports over 120,000 digitized records and several thousand physical titles). In recent years the organization has increased on‑site and programmatic activity—hosting artist residencies, talks, screenings, and collaborative exhibitions with museums and cultural partners across the U.S. The EIN 26‑4540036 and nonprofit status were confirmed through the organization’s publicly available filings and nonprofit records; AAAinA is an active, donor‑facing charity with an operational website, regular public programming, and recent filings (including Form 990s) on record.
