OACC is bringing a celebration of API arts and culture right into your home. As we face an unprecedented global health crisis, we strive to put a spotlight on the beautiful diversity and creativity within our local API communities. Our rich cultural roots manifesting in artistic expression can give us strength, resilience, and positivity particularly during challenging times.

We hope to uplift your hearts and homes with our celebration of API arts and culture.
