About Asian Cultural Council

Asian Cultural Council Inc’s recent grants center on cultural exchange carried through short-term fellowships, research, and residencies rather than open-ended institutional support. The largest award in the latest list was $49,000 to the American Museum of Natural History for training a Hanoi museum conservator in photography conservation, showing how the foundation links expertise across borders and disciplines. Other grants connect scholarship, artistic practice, and place-based inquiry: Tracing Patterns Foundation received $48,180 for a six-month residency on Papua representation, and Wild Projects received $35,875 to study Indonesia’s capital relocation through the voices and cultural activities of Generation Z and Alpha Indonesians. These awards fit a broader program that supports artists, scholars, and arts professionals in visual art, performing arts, film/video/photography, literature, curation, museum studies, conservation, arts administration, arts criticism, crafts, and ethnomusicology. The foundation is organized as a public charity and its grantmaking is tied to Asia–United States exchange across individuals and organizations.

What Asian Cultural Council Funds

The foundation’s arts-and-culture work reaches beyond one discipline. In conservation training, it awarded $49,000 to American Museum of Natural History to train a Hanoi museum conservator in photography conservation. In research on cultural narratives, it gave $48,180 to Tracing Patterns Foundation for a six-month residency focused on Papua representation for scholars. For urban and social change, Wild Projects received $35,875 to research Indonesia’s capital relocation through the voices and cultural activities of Generation Z and Alpha Indonesians. The grant list also shows support for contemporary practice and production: Montez Press Arts received $21,500 for a research project on artist-run spaces in Ho Chi Minh City, and Usjapan Cultural Trade Network received $20,000 to help a Japanese playwright develop a participatory play in San Francisco.

How Asian Cultural Council Gives

The grant sizes in the latest list run from $15,900 to $49,000, with a median of $23,750 and a third-quartile value of $39,437.50. That pattern points to project-based awards rather than large institutional grants. The foundation is a public charity, and the records shown here feature 2025 grants only, so recurrence across years cannot be inferred from the provided data. Some of its active programs are fellowships for individuals, while the recent grants table shows support to organizations as well. Unsolicited applications are accepted for some named and partner fellowships, including ACC / Saison Foundation Fellow programs.
