4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art is Australia’s peak national body for contemporary Asian art and cultural thinking. 4A is an initiative of the Asian Australian Artists Association, a non-profit organisation established in 1996 to present and promote the work of Asian and Asian-Australian artists. This organization was established by a group of artists who were keen to address the cultural contribution of Asian migration to Australia and further to develop Asian and Australian cultural relations.

4A is a highly regarded organisation that fosters excellence and innovation in contemporary Asian and Australian culture through research, documentation, development, discussion and presentation of contemporary visual art. We believe that Asian cultural thinking will have an important impact on the future. We are passionate about creating opportunities for artists and facilitating networks between Australia and the Asia-Pacific Region. 4A’s aim is to ensure contemporary visual art plays a central role in understanding the dynamic relationship between Australia and the Asia-Pacific region.
