It is on, Bay Area. It is on. The 11th APAture, Kearny Street Workshop's annual multidisciplinary arts festival, kicks off this Thursday, September 17 and runs through the 26th at locations around San Francisco. A gallery opening, music night, literary night, film night, and closing night bash -- APAture 2009's got a little bit of everything for everyone.
APAture's mission is to provide artists with an early experience presenting their work at a large event; to build audiences for emerging APA artists; to strengthen the sense of community among artists; and to raise awareness of the existence of and diversity within the APA arts community. APAture values community-building, ethnic and artistic diversity and collaboration across ethnic and disciplinary lines.
