Tradition meets Modernity

This Children’s Art Contest is APA Family Support Services’ annual signature event to promote family values, creativity and AAPI cultural heritage.

Each year we will select a different topic to engage the community in learning about AAPI cultural heritage. We will provide art supplies to underprivileged families and assist them in learning about the cultural sites through site visit and virtual learning resources. The Contest will be Bay Area-wide, and will expect participants from all backgrounds with ages from 4 to 16.

This year our theme is "Tradition meets Modernity," inviting participants to explore the dynamic intersection between cultural heritage and contemporary influences. Embracing the rich traditions of AAPI heritage, the contest encourages participants to reimagine and celebrate the fusion of traditional elements with modern perspectives, creating vibrant and thought-provoking artworks that capture the essence of the AAPI heritage.

Award winners artwork will become part of the San Francisco Portsmouth Square Garage photo exhibition for 2 months.

We would like to give special thanks to our co-organizer Happy Picasso Art Studio who will be coordinating the contest arrangement.
