“Art challenges passive culture” is a quote by renowned artist Nicolas Bourriaud. It is a quote that struck me many years ago and affirmed my love and study of the arts. It truly embodies an arts nonprofit dear to my heart, Kearny Street Workshop.
Kearny Street Workshop is the oldest multidisciplinary Asian Pacific American arts organization in the United States. KSW was founded on racial, social, and economic injustices dealt by the Asian Pacific American community in the 1970s. This monumental historical precedence carries through in our values for equity, representation, and visibility through the arts today.
Join us tonight at 7 p.m. for our annual end-of-the-year virtual celebration honoring our community artists, allies, and greater community. We honor you. We thank you.
And through our silent auction, bid on your own commissioned portraits like the ones below by gifted artist Nina Asay or the Diving Coloring Book by brilliant design artist Christine Joy Ferrer. The unique art and gifts for yourself or that special someone is plentiful.
It’s a win, win! Attain a masterpiece for your home that I guarantee your guests will gush over. Then subsequently share how you won it at a silent auction fundraiser, which helps to sustain an incomparable arts nonprofit.
