ISBN-13: 978-0-9787359-0-6About the Book: Cheers to Muses: Contemporary Works by Asian American Women consists of 128 pages richly illustrated with 46 color plates. Featuring 64 artists and 77 visual and literary works by artists ranging in age from 14 to 85. What distinguishes this unique anthology from many others are the moving dedications, written by the contributors, to non-familial Asian American women whose lives or works have influenced and inspired their own. These heartfelt affirmations are a testament to the powerful influence these muses have had on the artists and writers, and remind us that we are part of a continuum of the Asian American woman’s struggle for independence and creative freedom.
Both the exhibition and the anthology support AAWAA’s mission to produce thought-provoking projects that challenge, inspire, and interpret the work of Asian American women artists.ABOUT ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN ARTISTS ASSOCIATION
