'''4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art''', formerly known as '''Gallery 4A''', '''4A Galleries''', '''Asia-Australia Arts Centre''' and also known simply as '''4A''', is an Australian independent not-for-profit organisation based in the Haymarket area of Sydney, New South Wales. It commissions, exhibits, documents and researches Asian and Asian-Australian contemporary art in Australia, and promotes Australian talent in Asia, promoting and maintaining cultural connections between the nation and the region. The gallery and the associated Performance 4A (for the performing arts) were founded by the '''Asian Australian Artists Association Inc.''' in 1997.
The centre is funded mainly by Commonwealth, state and local government sources, but also by private sponsors and organisations, and generates its own income. It has partnered with the Sydney Biennale twice, as well as other organisations such as the Campbelltown Arts Centre to mount major exhibitions and events.
== History == 4A began in 1995 when a group of artists, curators and theatre-makers started meetings to discuss how to encourage Asian Australian creatives and contribute to the national discourse about Australian culture, and to broaden the understanding of what constitutes Australian art, and bring about structural change. They established the Asian Australian Artists Association Inc. in 1996, to "present and promote the work of Asian and Asian-Australian artists". The association was initially focused on both theatre and visual art. The organisation was then split into Gallery 4A (opened in 1997) and Performance 4A (which later split off and became Contemporary Asian Australian Performance, a resident company at Carriageworks).<ref name=acca>{{cite web |website=Australian Centre for Contemporary Art |url=https://acca.melbourne/program/defining-moments-founding-of-gallery-4a/ |title=Defining Moments: Founding of Gallery 4A| access-date=21 September 2021| format=Podcast + text| date=26 October 2020|others=Lecture titled Founding of Gallery 4A and the inaugural exhibition in 1997, given by Mikala Tai|first=Mikala|last=Tai}} Some content has been extracted from the audio component.</ref> Founding artists and curators included Filipino-Australian artist Victoria Lobregat,<ref>{{cite web |title=Creating Space for Asian Australian Art and Artists |url=https://www.sbs.com.au/language/english/audio/creating-space-for-asian-australian-art-and-artists| format=Podcast + text |website=SBS Filipino| date=15 December 2016| first= Jake|last=Atienza|publisher= Special Broadcasting Service| access-date=21 September 2021}}</ref> Vietnamese-born Dacchi Dang,<ref>{{cite web | last=Saha | first=Tanushri | title=Dacchi Dang | website=NAVA | date=24 April 2020 | url=https://visualarts.net.au/artist-files/2020/dacchi-dang/ | access-date=22 September 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Dacchi Dang: An Omen Near and Far | website=ArtsHub Australia | date=11 July 2017 | url=https://www.artshub.com.au/2017/07/11/dacchi-dang-an-omen-near-and-far-254050/ | access-date=22 September 2021}}</ref> Hong Kong-born John Young<ref name=nomad>{{cite web | title=John Young (b.1956) | website=Art Nomad | url=https://www.artnomad.com.au/artists/artist.cfm?id=1201 | access-date=22 September 2021}}</ref> and Melissa Chiu, who was also the inaugural director.<ref>{{cite web | title=Melissa Chiu | website=UNSW | series=Alumni | url=https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/melissa-chiu | access-date=20 September 2021 | archive-date=28 June 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220628112451/https://www.unsw.edu.au/staff/melissa-chiu | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title=Melissa Chiu named director of the Hirshhorn Museum | website=UNSW | date=12 June 2014 | url=https://www.unsw.edu.au/news/2014/06/melissa-chiu-named-director-of-the-hirshhorn-museum | access-date=20 September 2021}}</ref>
4A was established at the end of the Keating government, which had established ties with and engaged with Asia. Soon afterwards Pauline Hanson, who questioned the value of multiculturalism in Australia and spouted anti-Asian rhetoric (suggesting that Australia was "in danger of being swamped by Asians"),<ref name=acca/> was emerging in Australian politics,<ref>{{Cite interview|interviewer-first=Tess |interviewer-last=Maunder |date=8 July 2016 |title=Mikala Tai| first=Mikala |last=Tai|url=https://ocula.com/magazine/conversations/mikala-tai/| access-date=19 September 2021|website=Ocula Magazine}}</ref> and as such a continuing goal of the organisation has been to "highlight the cultural contribution of Asian migration to Australia and to develop Asian and Australian cultural relations".<ref name=hist>{{cite web | title=History | website=4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art | url=http://www.4a.com.au/about-4a/history/ | access-date=19 September 2021}}</ref> However, at the same time, the influence of both Indigenous Australian art and that of Australia's migrants was being felt and discussed at conferences, in writing and in artistic circles.<ref name=acca/>

==Description== The 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art is also referred to as 4A Galleries, or just 4A.<ref name=acca/>
In Australia, 4A encourages a cultural dialogue between Australia and the Asian region, presenting and examining stories and issues pertaining to how the nation engages with Asian culture and nations. It commissions, exhibits, documents and researches contemporary art in Australia, shining a light on Asian-Australian experiences represented in artistic form, as well as how migrants have contributed and changed Australia and continue to do so. In the wider region, promotes Australian talent in Asia, striving to maintain cultural connections between the nation and the region.<ref name=about>{{cite web | title=About 4A | website=4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art | url=http://www.4a.com.au/about-4a/ | access-date=19 September 2021}}</ref><ref name=mgnsw>{{cite web | title=4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art | website=Museums & Galleries of New South Wales | date=16 March 2021 | url=https://mgnsw.org.au/organisations/4a-centre-contemporary-asian-art/ | access-date=19 September 2021}}</ref> The centre has also always had a firm focus on Australian artists not of Asian background, and has played a role in the national discussion about what makes up Australian culture.<ref name=acca/>
4A is supported by government, cultural and commercial partners, in order to present exhibitions, performance art, projects and programs relating to artists at all levels of their careers; run residency programs for emerging artists to help develop their careers; consult with the community; and engage in advocacy.<ref name=about/>
The centre's location in Haymarket is close to the more recently named neighbourhoods, Thai Town (around Campbell Street) and Koreatown (around Pitt and Liverpool Streets).<ref name=hist/> The gallery is {{as of|2021|lc=yes}} being renovated, so all programs, exhibitions and events are presented online. These include 4A Digital, which commissions digital artworks; 4A kids; and the online journal ''4A Papers'',<ref name=about/> which was established in 2006 and published biannually until 2020, and from 2021, published concurrently with 4A programs.<ref>{{cite web | title=4A Papers | website=4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art | url=http://www.4a.com.au/4a-papers/ | access-date=19 September 2021}}</ref>
==Significance== The first two editions of the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art in 1996 and 1999 included almost exclusively Asian artists from outside Australia, and Asian Australian artists were largely left out of the concept of "Australian art" during the 1990s. The association realised that there was a long road ahead to bring Asian Australians into Australian art and, more generally, Australian identity.<ref name=acca/>
From the beginning, 4A championed risk-taking and experimental art, and has been a venue for the first group exhibitions for emerging artists as well as for the first solo exhibitions for mid-career artists and a place to push their practice, many of whom have retained connections with the gallery.<ref name=acca/>
Michelle Antoinette wrote in 2014 that 4A had "established an important profile in Australia, but also Asia, as a significant independent art space for the development of contemporary art at the intersection of Asian, Australian and Asian–Australian concerns".<ref name=antoinette>{{cite book|author=Antoinette, Michelle|date=2014| chapter= Epilogue: ‘My Future is Not a Dream': Shifting Worlds of Contemporary Asian Art and Exhibitions| title=Contemporary Asian Art and Exhibitions: Connectivities and World-making |pages= 246–247| publisher= ANU Press|jstor=j.ctt13wwv81.16|isbn=9781925021998| url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt13wwv81.16}}</ref>
