Celebrating Asian American Art & Culture
The Asian American Art & Culture Initiative (AAACI) is a nonprofit public humanities organization dedicated to preserving and amplifying Asian American history through research-based art, community archives, and education. Our work centers on Asian American art, Asian American oral history, and archival research, making overlooked histories accessible through exhibitions, film, and public programs. By building an Asian American archive grounded in ethical research and community collaboration, AAACI advances public humanities practice and fosters deeper understanding of Asian American experiences within the broader American story.

We turn research and oral histories into exhibitions, films, and programs, making Asian American stories visible and engaging through art and community collaboration.
Securing Our Heritage
Through research, archives, and youth programs, we ensure Asian American histories are preserved, shared, and integrated into education and culture.
