seeking art submissions for imaginasian: identity and experience in contemporary asian pacific america

Our friend Kate Agathon, a former Angry Reader of the Week, tells me about ImaginAsian: Identity and Experience in Contemporary Asian Pacific America, an APA Heritage Month fundraising installation/exhibition of donated art addressing identity and experience within contemporary Asian Pacific America, sponsored by the Council on Asian American Studies, and the Tippecanoe Arts Federation, and the Asian American Network of Indiana.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go towards the purchase of materials and resources for an Asian American Studies collection at the Purdue University and Indiana University libraries.

Open to everyone, submissions are being solicited nation-wide. They hope to have as wide a representation as possible including: artists, writers, politicians, professionals, athletes, educators, students, community activists, adoptive families, etc. You don't have to be of Asian descent to participate.

For a gift of $5, contributors are asked to fill an 8.5 x 11" space with creative art, writing, photography or any other artistic medium that addresses contemporary Asian Pacific American identity or the Asian Pacific American experience. The exhibit will be displayed at the Tippecanoe Arts Federation in April 2 - May 9, 2010 and will be available for travel. Submissions must be received by February 28, 2010 and can be sent to:
