PROGRAMS

APCC produces and implements the Asia Pacific Cultural Treasure Trunks through local school districts, teaching different Asia Pacific cultures and languages.

We showcase multiple Asia Pacific artists in different forms from abroad and conduct tea ceremonies of Japan, China, Korea, Samoa, and India.

We offer cooking classes for the traditional foods of Japan, China, Philippines, Hawaii, Samoa, Korea, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Tonga. The performing arts of Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Samoa, Hawaii, Fiji, Thailand, Guam, and Tahiti are taught through our classes.

Our programs also include language classes, crafts making, and more. All year round APCC brings in thousands of people from throughout the state to see and enjoy the Asia Pacific New Year Celebration in February, Asia Pacific Heritage Festival in May, Polynesian Luau in August, and Asia Pacific Infusion to start in November 2011. 

APCC is in the schools and libraries teaching teachers and children!
