The Asian Arts Initiative (AAI) is a non-profit organization in Philadelphia which "engages artists and everyday people" in order to address and explore the unique concerns and experiences of Asian-Americans. Founded by Gayle Isa, AAI is one of the few art organizations in the country which focuses on a particular community and its issues such as integration, influence and "social context." Isa was AAI's first executive director until June 2018. Its current executive director is Anne Ishii.
