American Artists of Chinese Brush Painting, known as the AACBP, is a non-profit organization of artists who practice Chinese brush painting and of art patrons with a special interest in Chinese art. Established in 1981 by Dr. Ning Yeh, the association has a membership which spreads from coast to coast, with a majority in Southern California.

The purpose of the AACBP is to create and stimulate interest in Chinese brush painting, to enrich the knowledge of its members and the public in this art, and to promote intercultural understanding.

The AACBP has two general membership meetings; one in the Spring and one in the Fall. A Members Exhibition is usually held once a year. Exhibitions have been held at the California Museum of Science and Industry, Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona Del Mar, CA, Park Newport in Newport Beach, CA, Huntington Beach Library, and many other places in Southern California. Three exhibitions of members' paintings have been held in Taiwan, Republic of China. Members usually provide painting demonstrations for the Los Angeles County Fair and have given numerous demonstrations and workshops for children and adults in schools, public libraries, and senior centers.
