asian pacific islander minnesotans artists directory

Calling all APIA artists in Minnesota... Got this passed along to me recently, and thought I'd help spread the word. So they're putting together a list of Minnesotan APIA artists, for a directory to be published in 2011. If you or anyone you know would like to be included in the directory, read on:

Asian Pacific Islander Minnesotans Artist Directory!!

hello friends,

as many of you know, im the cultural programming coordinator at the State Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans.

we are compiling a list of Minnesotan APIA artists for a directory we plan to publish in 2011.

we believe in sustaining our communities' artists - most importantly getting the artists compensated - because APA artists are just as valid as any other artist from other communities.

the directory will be distributed to agencies, universities, councils, states, etc.

if YOU or anyone you know would like to be included in the directory, please email:

This is a really great idea. The goal is to help cultivate, sustain, and spread the word about Minnesota's APIA artist community -- and it is indeed vibrant and growing. So if you're in Minnesota and identify as an artist, get on the directory and spread the word.
