Post 627: Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month Celebration

Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month Celebration

Eric participated in a community art fair at the Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) month celebration on May 9, from 12:30PM to 5:00PM at the Mason District Park in Annandale, VA. He was one of the vendors selling original art (all acrylic) and prints. His work included expressive realism of the Asian, Pacific Islands, Hawaiian, and African culture. Also included were paintings carrying other emotions such as pain, love, peace, and connection (journey of belonging). The AANHPI festival brought together vibrant performances, cultural experiences and a day of excitement for all ages.

Event Highlights

• Cultural performances
• Interactive experiences with calligraphy, origami and martial arts
• Art and culture: Explore exhibits featuring works by AANHPI artists.
• Family fun: crafts, storytelling and interactive activities throughout the day.
