Founded in 1972, during the height of the Asian Pacific American cultural movement, Kearny Street Workshop (KSW) is the oldest Asian Pacific American multidisciplinary arts organization in the country. Through collaborations with other arts organizations and cultural communities, both locally and nationally, KSW provides a forum for Asian Pacific American artists of different media to reach a wide, diverse audience. The struggles of the neighborhood defined the art produced by KSW members: low-income housing, strikes by garment and electrical union workers, and eviction of the elderly tenants of the International Hotel. KSW offers classes and workshops, salons, and student presentations, as well as professionally curated and produced exhibitions, performances, readings, and screenings. KSW makes artists out of community members and community members out of artists. For the past 50+ years, KSW has nurtured the creative spirit, offered an important platform for new voices to be heard, and connected artists with community.
