AAWAA EVENTS
FEBRUARY 2012
Arts of Pacific Asia Show at Fort Mason
February 3, 4, 5 at Fort Mason, San Francisco Booth 36 A
Representing the Asian American voice, AAWAA is part of the new Pacifc Asian Contemporary Arts Initiative . There will also be galleries and antique dealers from around the world.
Juror: Inson Choy: recent curatorial assistant for the Asian Arts Museum’s Korean Gallery, selected these diverse art works to showcase a cross section of Asian women artists living on the West Coast of the United States.
