Our inaugural Asian International Celebration is dedicated to art forms and artists in our community representing a multitude of Asian heritages. This event will include live music, dance, drums, spoken word, and short films. The film and video production company BAIRN, led by Thomas & Evans Nguyen, will be presenting local short films and leading conversations that feature Asian stories. Scheduled to perform are Samulnori from the Korean Cultural Center, Yao Lu, and more. As many in our community celebrate the Lunar New Year join us for a multi-national celebration of the arts.
