Our mission is to provide resources and support for the local Asian American community, and increase the visibility and representation of the Asian American diaspora in civic, cultural and community spaces through the arts.
Umbrella Arts Festival 2026

The umbrella symbolizes the Asian American diaspora which includes a diversity of ethnicities from over 40 Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian and Pacific Island countries around the world, and is inclusive of the many intersections of identities that exist in our communities.
