SLAYSIAN is a celebration—a celebrAsian, if you will—of local Asian American artists.

All are invited to attend the opening of this group exhibition. Enjoy original art by local artists working across all media (painting, illustration, photography, sculpture, multimedia, installation, textiles, and interactive art) and in all art forms - in addition to visual art, the reception will feature live performances from poets, writers, and performance artists throughout the night.

Come support local Asian American talent!
