Kearny Street Workshop Inc

This year marks APAture’s 25th anniversary! The only festival to put the focus on emerging Asian Pacific American artists is returning to San Francisco from Oct 12th to Nov. 9th. 

The theme for this year is RETURN. We're thinking about the idea of return in its many forms from the right to return and Indigenous Peoples' call for land back to our migrant histories and personal struggles. What does the idea of return mean to you? Where and to whom are we returning?  

This year, our Give in May campaign focuses on raising funds for the 25th APAture Festival, the only festival in the U.S. solely focused on emerging Asian Pacific American artists. Your support will showcase 75-80 emerging APA artists to an audience of nearly 1,000 in venues around San Francisco. We are now accepting applications for the following showcases: Comics, Zines, & Illustrations, Film, Literary Arts, Music, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts.
