This is a FREE event open to EVERYONE, but a suggested donation of $5 is highly encouraged.

ACE (AAPI Creatives & Entrepreneurs) is a collective connecting independent creatives and consumers with an emphasis on supporting emerging AAPI creatives and small businesses. Join us on June 25th & 26th for ACE’s “Celebr-Asian of Love” Pop Up Event at Industry City, Brooklyn! We invite you to eat, drink, shop, & celebrate with us!

ACE’s Celebr-Asian of Love is our third pop-up and marks our one-year anniversary! Our theme aims to spread joy and kindness by highlighting the diversity of our community, cultures, and changemakers by creating a physical space for everyone to experience authentic stories about the AAPI identity.

We'll be featuring a special two-day program of AAPI artists, musicians, performers, and community supporters to showcase their talents.

ACE is focused on community building. All donations will benefit our non-profit partner, Asian American Arts Alliance & Heart of Dinner.
