Society for Asian Art: The Society for Asian Art, a 501 (c ) (3 ) nonprofit organization, was incorporated in 1958 by a group of enlightened citizens dedicated to winning Avery Brundage's magnificent art collection for San Francisco. Since that time, we have been an independent support organization for the Asian Art Museum Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture For over fifty years, we have offered a wide range of innovative, high-quality educational and cultural programs, along with social (and culinary ) events where participants share their knowledge and enthusiasm. SAA's popular, college-accredited Arts of Asia Lecture Series, open to all, is the core of the museum's docent-training curriculum. We sponsor foreign and domestic travel, visits to private art dealers and collections, in-depth study groups, special lectures by leading scholars, literature courses and symposia. Much of our programming supports specific exhibitions.
