Pacific Asia Museum The Pacific Asia Museum is one of only four U.S. institutions dedicated to the arts and culture of Asia and the Pacific Islands, serving Los Angeles and the Greater Southern California region. The museum’s historic building has served as a center for art, culture and learning in Pasadena since its construction in 1924 by pioneering collector and entrepreneur Grace Nicholson as her residence, galleries, and Treasure House/emporium. Ms. Nicholson’s championing of Asian art early in the century set the tone for much of the Pasadena community's arts-related activities during the ensuing decades. The building also served as the site of the Pasadena Art Museum, which was renowned for its groundbreaking exhibitions of contemporary art. This grant will help the museum in their purchase of a work by Gajin Fujita, and this marks the first purchase by the museum of a contemporary Asian American artist. They will also have the first exhibition of his work in a West Coast museum entitled, Gajin Fujita: Ukiyo-e in Contemporary Painting that will take place April 20 to October 7, 2012.
