Civil Art

Civil Art is an ecosystem where the API community can give and receive equitable resources, opportunities, and accessibility through art and literature.

Civil Art empowers the Asian Pacific Islander (API) community by making the contributions of the API creatives accessible to a wider demographic through educational programming, our editorial platform, community gatherings, and other events.

Civil Art’s public programming highlights the ways in which the contributions of API creatives communicate cultural narratives, including employing themes that speak to the multiplicity of the API community’s identity. Our programming raises awareness of the community’s diverse histories while fostering opportunities for intra-community connection, understanding, and further creative development.
