Come Join the 1%
All it takes is $1
The 1% Campaign, hosted by Civil Art and Elio Kennedy-Yoon, is a social media–driven fundraising initiative inviting Asian American communities and allies to become the 1% by showing up for and supporting Asian American initiatives. Inspired by the reality that Asian Americans make up 17% of New York City’s population — roughly 1.5 million of 8.8 million New Yorkers — yet account for only 1% of reported cultural engagement, this campaign reframes 1% as a call to action rather than a statistic.
Your contribution will help to produce Luminous Path, a major fundraising exhibition produced by Civil Art this summer at Rockefeller Center, while also ensuring your name becomes part of the project through publication in a future book.
From May 11–June 12, 2026, every donation of $1 to Civil Art will be listed as a donor on Civil Art’s public website. Donors’ names will also be printed in a physical exhibition catalog when it is published in 2027.
