API Cultural Center

API Cultural Center, doing business as Oakland Asian Cultural Center, fosters intergenerational and cross-cultural dialogue and strengthens the cultural identities that are the underpinning of the vibrant East Bay Asian community. The organization’s programming includes three annual festivals celebrating Asian and Pacific Islander traditional and contemporary artistic practices, weekly classes for all generations and families, an artist-in-residence program, visual arts exhibitions, in-school education residencies, and a host of community collaborations. With continued support, this cultural hub would improve its financial stability, plan for capital improvements, and deepen and expand its thriving programs.
