Opening Reception: November 30 from 5pm – 7pm

This exhibition will celebrate creative works in non-traditional media by artists of Chinese descent that speak to the continuous exchange between East and West. We seek to generate cross-cultural comparative insights for a new understanding of Chinese art as an international force taking many forms. This exhibition expands beyond national boundaries to consider how works of art and artists have interacted across their experiences in China and the United States.

As a non-profit organization, the Association of Chinese Artists in American Academia (ACAAC) was founded in 2003 by a group of Chinese artists who teach and research in American universities. Attending the first national exhibition and symposium held at California State University, Long Beach, this group of artists came into consensus in creating a platform for sharing their artistic experiences and educational endeavors. Having been a continuation of the Association’s scholarly endeavor of the past two decades, this 2022 Forum Across the Divide is pleased to invite all ACAAC members to participate in this exhibition.
