31 Contemporary Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Artists
Celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month!
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month! Here at The Epicurean Vagabonds, we strongly believe that every month should be a celebration of all cultures (and we hope that our podcasts and our Mid-Week Libations reflect that ethos), but we also wanted to take a moment to celebrate this month with a curated selection of contemporary art created by Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders.
Below are 31 remarkable AANHPI artists, one for each day of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month. Take a look at their stunning work, check out their official websites/galleries/shops, and let’s celebrate these artists all year round!
