Apply to be part of APAture 25th Anniversary! Submissions close June 16, 2024
This year marks APAture’s 25th anniversary! The only festival to put the focus on emerging Asian Pacific American artists is returning to San Francisco from Oct 12th to Nov. 9th. We are now accepting applications for the following showcases: Comics, Zines, & Illustrations, Film, Literary Arts, Music, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts.
The theme for this year is RETURN. From the Palestinian right to return, the call for Indigenous Land Back, the various migrant histories and struggle for justice in our Pacific Islander and Asian communities, and the returns we face in our own personal lives: What does the idea of return mean to you? Where and to whom are you returning?
We don’t expect your work to fit perfectly with this year’s theme but we invite you to consider how it resonates with you and your work as an artist. Please refer to our FAQ before applying and if you have further questions contact apature@kearnystreet.org
