Asian Creative Foundation is a New York-based community founded in 2019 to inspire, connect, and support Asian creatives across industries.

From art, design, and film to marketing, performance, small business, and content creation—we bring together creatives to celebrate unique stories, build meaningful collaborations, and empower the next generation of Asian voices.

🎯 Our Mission
Inspire: Discover bold ideas, creative work, and diverse voices across disciplines
Connect: Build community through events, conversations, and collaborations
Support: Share tools, insights, and mentorship across branding, marketing, finance & strategy

🌏 Our Impact (so far)
50+ community-led events
150+ inspiring speakers
12,000+ attendees and counting

From Creative Talks and Social Impact Hackathons to performances, artist markets, film screenings, and virtual galleries, our programming is designed to foster belonging and creative growth.

We launched the Asian Creative Festival in 2022 and welcomed over 3,900 attendees in 2023. As we continue to grow in 2024 and beyond, we remain committed to building a strong ecosystem for Asian creatives to lead, thrive, and tell their stories—on their own terms.
