Our mission is to celebrate diversity and multi-cultural appreciation of the Asian and Asian American experience through cultural events.

Vision for the Future

Within three to five years Silk Screen plans to develop into a week- or month-long celebration of Asian and Asian American cultures with events throughout the City of Pittsburgh including educational outreach (K-12); art exhibits, theater, dance and music performances; additional Film Festival workshops; amateur/student film/video projects and submissions; specialty screenings; and filmmaker visits.

The long-term plan is to create an architecturally remarkable building that will house an Asia Center. It will be the Gateway to Asia, providing resources for cultural exchange and business.

 

Program Goals

  • Educate communities - Asian American and mainstream, local and national - about Asian and Asian American history, culture, experiences and issues;
  • Bring Asian cultural education experiences to area schools and universities;
  • Support ongoing development of Asian and Asian American independent cinema;
  • Foster understanding across lines of race, ethnicity, religion, age, and region by bringing together the various Asian communities and the population at large within the Pittsburgh region;
  • Sustain growth and encourage excellence in Asian American culture and Pittsburgh's place within it. As the Festival grows, to become a full celebration of Asian heritage, build a more dynamic and multicultural community, and make Silk Screen a traveling event across the Commonwealth.
