The program was established in 1980. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the primary purpose of the program was to expose viewers to the rich and varied Chinese art with more emphasis on contemporary Chinese artists. Asian American artists were introduced in the laste 1980s. Since the mid 1990s the Program was opened to all artists regardless of ethnicity In 2000 the New England International Artists Association was formed. In the same year we also started an international artist-in-residence program.

Seven to nine exhibitions were presented annually at the Tremont Gallery. Before 1988 only Chinese artists were showcased. In 1988 the first Asian American artists group show was mounted. It became a regular part of our exhibition series. A year later all artists of excellence regardless of ethnicity were included.

We sometimes collaborate with other arts organizations such as the Women's Caucus for Arts, Boston Visual Artists Union, African American Artists Association, Asian American Artists Association among others, to organize shows. We also work with arts institutions in Asia and Europe

Our curatorial committee consists of an art historian, an artist, and an art critic. Sometime guest curators are invited.

In 2000 we started the International Artist-in-Resident Program. The Program sponsors artists abroad to visit, work and exhibit in Boston.
