APAFSS Children’s

Art Contest 2025

AAPI Festivals: Celebrating Together

This Art Contest is Bay Area-wide and we expect participants from all backgrounds with ages from 4 to 16. Each year we select a different topic to engage the community in learning about AAPI cultural heritage.

This year our theme is "AAPI Festivals: Celebrating Together," inviting participants to create artworks that depict specific festivals, highlighting the traditions, foods, and celebrations unique to each. Embracing the rich traditions of AAPI heritage, the contest encourages participants to reimagine and celebrate the fusion of traditional festivals that capture the essence of the AAPI 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.

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

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