Asia Pacific Arts, published by the UCLA Asia Institute, delivers strong coverage of the dynamic worlds of Asian and Asian American arts and entertainment. As perusing back issues will demonstrate, our field of vision is wide. We explore film, television, music, literature, art, exhibitions, and festivals. You'll find interviews with the newest creators as well as with established artists. Features explore cross-medium interplay, interaction across cultures, and innovative blends of old forms and techniques with newer ones. The web magazine goes where print cannot -- delivering streaming audio and video interviews, film clips, and music samples.

APA is produced at UCLA. Interest in and knowledge of Asia and Asia Pacific America is particularly acute here. More students pursue courses in Asian languages, literatures, histories, politics, and societies, not to mention courses on the Asian Pacific American past and present, at UCLA than at any other Western university. They are taught by members of the richest pools of scholarly expertise on Asia and Asian Pacific America anywhere. Beyond this, Southern California is home to more than a million Asian Pacific Americans and ties with Asia are strong. And, of course, the region's role in the global entertainment industry is enormous. APA takes advantage of this and of a wonderfully diverse and talented editorial and business team.

Your Support Is Needed
That team, however, goes virtually unpaid! APA receives no direct support from the university and does not accept advertising. We need and appreciate the support of sponsors and readers. Please click here to learn how you can help.
