One of the goals of the Asia Art Archive is to widen the audience currently using its resources and to reach out to people who might otherwise be unaware of our existence. We believe in the importance of art in society, and thus endeavour to reach individuals at a young age to give them the tools to understand and integrate art in everyday life.
The AAA regularly visits university and high-school classrooms to introduce the organization and work we are doing. We simultaneously arrange for school groups to visit AAA to explain how to use our collection and to allow them to think of the archive as place where they can study and read.
In the near future, one of our priority goals is to develop a series of educational programs and on-line learning kits for high-school students and teachers, using the material in our collection. We are in discussion with teachers and educational institutions to develop these programs, which will aim at bringing contemporary Asian art in to the classroom. Our goal is to launch this during 2008 and 2009.
