Scopes
The AAA Research Grant supports focused research projects on art in Asia. AAA’s definition of 'Asia' and 'Asian art' is not restrained by geography and includes artists of Asian descent living around the world, as well as artists of non-Asian decent living in Asia.
Project Scale
Due to the scale of the grant, AAA seeks applications for small to medium scale, goal-specific projects.
Materials collected for the project are made available to the public at AAA. The final reports of past AAA Research Grant projects are published on AAA’s website: http://www.aaa.org.hk/research_grantees.aspx
