The Association works to promote the arts from Australia, the United States and New Zealand . We award modest donations to young Australian artists in New York from the Dame Joan Sutherland Fund.
In the past several years we have held events such as the showing of short films from both countries across the U.S., weekend excursions, concerts by Australian performers and a range of receptions to promote Australian art and culture in the United States.
