Apply to a paid opportunity (up to $3500) to connect with other writers and musicians about inspiring and thoughtful music that will be part of Asian Arts Initiative's SOUND TYPE Music Festival in 2025. The Music Writers Workshop will take place from March 2025—November 2025, including 5 live Festival events that take place at AAI, and bi-monthly zoom sessions led by music and film critic Joshua Minsoo Kim.

The goal of the Music Writers Workshop is to support emerging and established writers by inviting professional writers for coaching, and connect the cohort to AAI's diverse music offering in 2025. Any level of experience for music writing is welcome. We strongly encourage submissions from those who identify as Black, Indigenous, person of color and/or LGBTQ.
