Our mission is to provide resources and support for the local Asian, South Asian, Pacific Islander American community, and increase the visibility and representation of the Asian American diaspora in Evanston’s civic, cultural and community spaces through the arts.
About the Campaign
The Visible Voices campaign supports the creation of spaces that amplify Asian American Voices and stories.
We are currently working to establish a community space in North Suburban Cook County that is dedicated to the research, preservation, celebration and creation of Asian American history, art and culture. This space will serve and support the local Asian American community through cultural arts and social service programming with an emphasis on the diversity of the Asian American diaspora and intersectional identities. It will act as a TEAACH research and education center and serve as a point of connection for outside social services, mental health, immigration, translation and legal services. The space will also serve as a micro-business incubator for Asian owned ventures and provide services that will support economic growth.
