WHO WE ARE

Asian Improv aRts (AIR) is a non-profit organization that celebrates and promotes artistic works by artists of the Asian/Asian American diaspora. We are dedicated to producing and presenting innovative works by artists across diverse mediums including music, dance, poetry, and visual arts that reflect the expansiveness of the AAPI experience.


Through our programs, we cultivate artistic excellence giving voice to our communities, nurturing the next generation of changemakers, and shaping the national conversation on racial equity and justice.

WHAT WE DO

Asian Improv aRts (AIR) builds the strength, sustainability and national visibility of Asian/Asian American arts and culture, through community-based work grounded in deep connections to the BIPOC community.
