WNC AAPI EVENTS
Coming Up Next!
Caravan Art Bazaar & Southside Community Farm are throwing a fundraiser party at Tiger Bay Cafe / Ben’s Tune Up, to help raise funds for the work both CAB & SCF offer for local artists and community members. This party also kicks off a month-long raffle fundraiser, with 100% of proceeds split between CAB & SCF to support both their missions.
Brunch will be served up by our friends Tiger Bay with a special menu item donating proceeds to our fundraiser! And let’s not forget our lovely hosts at Ben’s Tune Up slinging cold drinks. A handful of vendors will be on site offering Artwork, Face Painting, Herbal Remedies, Live Music, and more!
Come out & party with us!

Event Creation
We create space for celebration, exploration, healing, and solidarity with each other and other communities of culture. We also co-host on events with other organizations & small businesses, and share events that offer ways of fundraising for the WNC AAPI Mutual Aid Program.
All community members are encouraged and welcome to plan their own events beyond official WNC AAPI events.
