4A fosters artistic innovation and nurtures new talent through initiatives like 4A LAB and our emerging artist programs. Your contribution is pivotal in commissioning groundbreaking work and propelling artists' careers forward now, and deep into the future.

Everything 4A does focuses on uncovering and presenting the creative talent of the Asian diaspora in Australia and connecting them to audiences locally and abroad. Our commitment extends beyond presentation: we strive to create an immersive experience that not only celebrates but also amplifies the diverse artistic voices within our community.

This is our story and yours. Come celebrate, connect and create the future with us. Join us in making Asian-Australia arts alive!

4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art acknowledges the Gadigal people, the traditional custodians of the land on which we live, work and create. We recognise the enduring connections between First Nations people and the land, waters, culture and communities that have existed for over 60,000 years. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
