Our mission is to foster new forms of cross-fertilization among contemporary creative communities around the Pacific.
The cities of Pacific America and the Asia Pacific constitute a dynamic network of peoples, languages, and cultures. New Pacific Studio develops innovative conversations among indigenous and migrant artists, writers, and environmental thinkers, and sponsors collaborative projects in schools, museums, and libraries.
We believe that our shared ecologies, rich indigenous cultures, and diverse multicultural communities not only provide many areas for comparative study, but may also offer creative solutions to the various environmental and cultural questions that confront us.
