Annual Spring Benefit 2021

On May 6, 2021, you’re invited to celebrate with Asian Arts Initiative at our annual spring benefit. This year, we highlight the care and support provided by moms (in all their manifestations) that have made it possible for us to thrive for over two decades.

This year, we honor honor Gerry Givnish (founder of The Painted Bride Art Center), Maori Karmael Holmes (founder and Director of BlackStar Film Festival), and Catzie Vilayphonh (founder of Laos in the House) for their contributions to the Asian Arts Initiative community and to Philadelphia as a whole. Their work has forever changed the artistic and cultural landscape of the city, paving the way for the next generation, and Asian Arts Initiative pays tribute for all that they’ve done.

We are partnering with FORTUNE and local businesses and artists to curate a special Benefit-in-a-Box that will be unboxed during this virtual event. Buy tickets now to secure your box and receive RSVP info prior to the event!
