Oakland Asian Cultural Center

The Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) is a community-rooted cultural hub dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and advancing the diverse cultures of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in Oakland and the greater Bay Area. Located in the heart of Oakland’s Chinatown, the center serves as a welcoming space for cultural expression, education, and civic engagement, reflecting the neighborhood’s long history and evolving identity.

Through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and community programs, OACC highlights both traditional and contemporary Asian and Pacific Islander voices. The center functions not only as a venue for arts and culture, but also as a gathering place that fosters cross-cultural understanding, supports local artists and organizations, and strengthens connections between generations within the community.
