From May 10-12 the National Museum of Asian Art hosted the annual IlluminAsia Festival to commemorate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Celebrate, convene, learn, reflect, and foster connections through Asian arts and cultures!
IlluminAsia created dialogue around and shed light on often-overlooked issues of mental health and well-being in the Asian, Asian American, and diasporic community. Programs drew on art and culture resources, mindfulness practices, and the museum’s role as a space of gathering, learning, healing, and contemplation.
Bank of America is the Founding Sponsor of the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art “IlluminAsia” Arts and Culture Festival.
IlluminAsia also received federal funding from the Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center.
