About Asian & American Art Foundation
AAAFoundation is a non-profit art museum dedicated to advancing the appreciation and understanding of the visual arts while contributing to the cultural enrichment of diverse communities. Its mission is to provide an inclusive and intellectually engaging platform where artists, scholars, students, and the public can experience thoughtfully curated exhibitions, participate in educational programs, and engage in meaningful cultural dialogue.
Guided by a belief in the transformative power of art, AAAFoundation seeks to foster critical inquiry, cross-cultural understanding, and creative expression. The institution is committed to broadening access to the arts and supporting lifelong learning through programs that encourage reflection, dialogue, and community engagement.
AAAFoundation presents a dynamic program of exhibitions featuring a wide range of artistic practices, media, and cultural perspectives. Through rotating exhibitions, site-specific installations, and collaborative projects, the museum supports both emerging and established artists whose work contributes to contemporary discourse. Each exhibition is developed with a focus on curatorial rigor and public engagement, encouraging deeper understanding of artistic and cultural narratives.
Complementing its exhibition program, AAAFoundation offers a range of public initiatives, including artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, and educational outreach programs. These initiatives are designed to serve diverse audiences and to provide accessible entry points for engagement with contemporary art and the creative process.
Founded in 2026, AAAFoundation builds upon the foundation established by Paris Koh Fine Arts, which operated in Manhattan’s Chelsea district before relocating to New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic. The establishment of AAAFoundation marks the organization’s transition into a non-profit institution and its return to Chelsea, New York, with an expanded commitment to public service, accessibility, and community-centered programming.
Through its exhibitions and programs, AAAFoundation aims to serve as a sustainable cultural resource that supports artistic innovation, fosters inclusive community engagement, and contributes to the broader arts ecosystem.
