Rising with the Wave Painting

The International Art Museum of America (IAMA) is a public ­benefit, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. It was conceived as a permanent museum dedicated to displaying artworks made by famous artists from diverse backgrounds and different time periods. Our mission: to engage the local community with the greater world; to offer our space as a place of reflection and exchange; to provide an inclusive space to experience art and generate dialogue around diverse cultures through exhibits, programs, and education.When IAMA was first founded, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III had loaned the museum about 100 of his pieces. The works of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III have been recognized with numerous awards over the years - the Presidential Gold Award, the Dr. Martin Luther King Legacy Award for International Service and Leadership, Fellowship by the Royal Academy of Arts in 2004 and a World Peace Prize at the US Capitol in 2011.Since its founding in 2011, the International Art Museum has been a place of peaceful reflection and international understanding. The collection in the museum has grown to include art from China, Algeria, Belgium, England, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Russia, Scotland, and the United States. The works of traditional calligraphy, Western oil painting, modern ink brush landscapes, sculptures and portraits, all work together to showcase the diversity of human experience and perception.
