Where AANHPI Artists Thrive
THE LUNAR FOUNDATION PROGRAMMING
The Lunar Foundation supports AANHPI artists in Central Texas through destination-level cultural events, career development, public art education, and community-driven research. Our programs create paid showcases, connect artists with industry leaders, bring AANHPI stories into public spaces, and build the data that informs how this community is supported.
AUSTIN DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL
Founded in 1999 by community pillar Amy Wong Mok and now stewarded by The Lunar Foundation, ADBF is one of Central Texas's longest-running cultural events. Every spring, teams and spectators from across the country come to Lady Bird Lake for a full day of competitive dragon boat racing, live AANHPI cultural performances, an outdoor art gallery, and food vendors who sell out before the day is done. Free and open to the public.
