Artists and Youth Speak Up!

“Asian Arts Initiative is an amazing organization. Even though it is called Asian Arts there has always been a mix of races and cultures here.:
-Ty, Youth Arts Workshop Alumni and current Asian Arts Initiative Intern

“The Initiative really provided a space for me to feel good about wanting to be creative.  I think that was tremendous in terms of my growth and development as a person in general but definitely as an artist.”   
-Jeff Cylkowski, Former Artist in Residence

"Asian Arts Initiative has always been a wonderful place for me to be able to express my feelings in a positive and enjoyable way.  I am able to enhance my creativity without judgment. I have made so many wonderful friends that have changed my life. I can proudly say that the Initiative is like my second home."
-Annie, Youth Artist
