KSW’s APAture: A Window on the Art of Asian Pacific
Americans
KSW's APAture is a multidisciplinary arts expo presenting and
examining the
work of emerging Asian Pacific American artists, living or
working in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The mission of Kearny Street Workshop’s APAture is
to provide artists with an early experience presenting
their work at a large
event; to build audiences for emerging artists; to
strengthen the sense of community among our artists; and
to raise awareness of the
existence of and diversity within the APA arts community.
The KSW-Next group will be organizing, jurying, and
staffing the event.
Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) is the nation’s oldest
multidisciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organization.
Founded in 1972 on Kearny Street and now based in the
Mission District, KSW’s mission is to present and
produce art that enriches and empowers APA
communities. KSW offers a range of arts programming,
including workshops, visual arts exhibitions, publications
and a small press, our APAture festival, and more. In
2007, KSW celebrates its 35th Anniversary.
