Mission: Asian American Women Artists Alliance was founded in 1998 to give support to the emerging and established women artists. By coming together we recognized, as a group, we are better able to: lessen the social and cultural isolation in which we work; encourage our individual efforts; develop and promote our work, and educate the community about our unique contributions to NY Tristate Area Art Movement. We welcome women artists of all ethnic backgrounds to join us in exploring and expressing through art our diverse cultural and esthetic heritage. Including work of non-Asian women is our deliberate curatorial policy, a self-empowering stance which resists the ghettoizing of minority artists and their artwork and the "separate but equal" doctrine which to this day pervades life in America.
