The American Chinese Art Society (ACAS) was founded in 1984 with goals of preserving and promoting the excellence in Chinese Arts as part of America's rich cultural resources. ACAS has provided vigorous training in performing arts for talented young artists and sponsored concerts, festivals, exhibitions and workshops. Over the years, the ACAS has laid a foundation for the next generation of young talents to learn, practice and propagate their unique artistic heritage. These talented young artists have proudly shared this culture gem with a large variety of audiences through their frequent performances both domestically and abroad.The ACAS is a non-profit cultural organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and tirelessly guided by Ms Jade Lin, Founder and Executive Director, a very gifted and accomplished dancer, choreographer, and pianist. In addition to preserving and promoting the Chinese culture as its main mission, ACAS is also committed to strengthening the cultural exchanges between the Chinese and American communities.
