Founded in 2014, Chopsticks Alley Art (CAA) creates educational arts programming that celebrates and addresses the needs of Southeast Asian Americans to celebrate their cultural heritage while engaging in social issues affecting our communities. Past programs have included art classes, gallery exhibits, free cultural festivals, and pubic art-making events.

CAA has an established record of programing successful and accessible cultural events that appeal to a demographically diverse and inter-generational audience. One of our primary first initiatives, Chopsticks Alley Eats, organized community members to promote volunteerism in support of homeless children. Chopsticks Alley has an online, multimedia publication to share the voices of young Vietnamese and Filipino Americans through talk shows, podcasts, and other media. Building from this online platform, we launched Chopsticks Alley Arts as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2017, furthering the impact of our programming.
