About the Festival
 

What’s APAture?
APAture is Kearny Street Workshop’s annual multidisciplinary arts festival that presents and promotes art by local up-and-coming artists of Asian and/or Pacific Islander descent. For fourteen seasons, the festival has sparked dialogue around contemporary social issues, especially those that affect Asian and/or Pacific Islander communities, and inspired collaboration between artists and community members toward social action.

What’s Kearny Street Workshop?
Kearny Street Workshop is non-profit organization dedicated to producing, presenting, and promoting art that empowers Asian and/or Pacific Islander communities. Since 1972, KSW has offered adult arts education programs and multidisciplinary arts presentations to local community members. Learn more about us at kearnystreet.org.

Is there a theme? What is it for this year?
The theme for APAture 2015 is FUTURE TENSE. We’re inviting artists to imagine what’s possible for the future, and are particularly interested in how social change might be exhibited in their work. What do you envision for our communities in the FUTURE TENSE?

Who’s jurying and curating APAture?

A group of volunteers serving as the general planning committee (GPC) jury, curate, coordinate, and put on APAture each year. GPC members span a wide range of professions, and some of us are artists ourselves.

When and where is the festival?

APAture 2016 runs from September 3, 2016, to October 15, 2016, at various locations throughout San Francisco. Check out the full festival schedule here.
