Our PAPIAC (Pan-Asian Pacific Islander Artist Collective) virtual fundraiser concert was held Sunday, January 26th 2025.

We are a group of musicians, arts supporters and promoters that are passionate about elevating our stories and cultures through our artistic paths. Our mission is to nurture, amplify, and support voices of PAPI musicians in the folk music industry and beyond. We value intergenerational learning, intercultural connections, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

A portion of the funds raised will be donated to MusiCares to help our music community affected by the Los Angeles wildfires. We are aiming to raise $2500 CAD in total.

PAPIAC hosted its first private showcase at the Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City, MO in 2023. PAPIAC, now as an organized collective, will host our second rendition in Montreal, Canada February 2025.
