The newest season of Asian PaCIVICS is here! Check out our 2025 artists who are making a social impact with their art.
The Slants Foundation is a nonprofit organization supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) artists and musicians who create social change through their work. We believe that the most powerful movements start with a single voice willing to speak up for justice.
We champion AAPI artists who use their creativity to address social justice issues and inspire change in their communities. Our foundation helps underrepresented creatives not just share their unique perspectives—their own 'slant' on the world—but also to build sustainable careers in the arts while making meaningful social impact.
We're building a network of fearless creators who tackle controversial issues head-on through arts activism. From supporting emerging Asian American musicians to empowering established Pacific Islander artists, we provide resources and opportunities for artists of color to amplify their voices and drive cultural change.
Because when art meets activism, barriers break down, hearts open up, and real transformation becomes possible.
Our Mission
The mission of The Slants Foundation is to support Asian American and Pacific Islander artists as they use their creativity to spark important conversations, challenge injustice, and build movements for change—while helping them thrive as artists.
Every dollar counts and 100% of your donations will go toward supporting art and activism
