About 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.
