Welcome to
Asian Creative Foundation
We’re a New York-based community to inspire, connect, and support Asian creatives. Despite progress, the creative industry still struggles with diversity—only 11.4% of roles are held by Black, Asian, and minority ethnic individuals.
Our community brings Asian creatives together across industries such as design, photography, film, entertainment, content creation, small business, and more, celebrating our unique stories and fostering collaboration.
