About PAA Europe

Pacific Arts Association-Europe

The Pacific Arts Association-Europe (PAA-E) shares the stated aims of the international Pacific Arts Association (PAA).

As a result of a distinctly European focus towards the Pacific, mainly due to the history of contacts between Europe and Oceania, the specific aims of PAA-E are:

To promote interest and research in documentation, archives, and collections of Oceania in Europe
To encourage diffusion of information through exhibitions, publications, symposia, broadcasting, and other media
To foster communication between institutions and individuals in Oceania and Europe in view of the general aims of PAA
To seek funds in support of the aims stated above

PAA-E members meet once a year at a museum or exhibition center in Europe, combining the visit to an exhibition or collections with presentations on recent activities in the domains of Reseach and Exhibitions.
