Founded in 1976 the Cincinnati Asian Art Society (CAAS) provides a forum for collectors and admirers of Asian art to share information and learn more about the rich artistic traditions of China, India, Japan, Korea, South Asia and South East Asia.  There are four to five programs each year that are free and open to the public.  Members only meetings include art museum tours by curators, tours of collectors’ homes and visits to Asian exhibits at museums in the tri-state area.  Public meetings are held at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Taft Museum of Art.2
