Taking Asian Canadian art out of the margins and into the mainstream. Asian Heritage Month provides Asian artists with mainstream venues to express a variety of voices from many cultures. As a festival featuring music, dance, readings, films, videos, visual arts, workshops, panels and multidisciplinary events, we provide Toronto's public with critical and informative programming. The result is an inside look at what's on the minds and in the hearts of Asian-Canadian artists today.
