Assyrian Arts Institute

AAI exhibits the artwork of Assyrian artists that meet todays's international standards of quality.

The Assyrian Arts Institute (AAI) seeks to identify gifted Assyrian artists who are looking to showcase their talent in order to turn their artistic ambition into a successful career. AAI believes that through art, not only is recognition for the Assyrian culture realized, but it also becomes the fabric that connects Assyria’s deep historical roots to today’s world.

At AAI, our pledge is to provide Assyrian artists the means to achieve greatness by giving them the opportunity to be mentored by world class role models and advisors who will teach by example. These hand-picked mentors are the epitome of excellence as their lives are a testimony of strong work ethics and passion for the arts. AAI’s mentors intend to instill in their eager pupils the same standards and expectations that made them world renowned artists.

AAI is prepared to offer scholarships and grants for chosen and qualified artists who are accepted into its continuing education program. In return, AAI will use their talents as a platform to create opportunities to showcase ancient Assyrian arts, medieval, and modern Assyrian arts in order to encourage and empower the next generation of Assyrians to create their own art and continue the Assyrian arts legacy in the world.
