“Futures Ever Arriving”

Head to Chelsea Market for an exhibit featuring works from five emerging Asian American artists in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Curated by Sophia Park, the exhibit is inspired by Can Xue's novel Love in the New Millennium and is the culmination of a collab between Pearl River Mart and the Asian American Arts Alliance. Visitors to the market can see the entire exhibit through a self-guided tour map with the locations of each piece marked throughout the main concourse. Additionally, guests can scan QR codes displayed next to each piece to learn more about the artwork and artists. "Now more than ever, our city needs the arts to heal and move forward together," said Pearl River President, Joanne Kwong. "The Asian American community is filled with artists and creatives, both emerging and established, who have stories and perspectives that need to be heard, especially at a time when we feel both invisible and under attack. This AAPI Heritage Month, we could not be prouder to partner with our dear friends at A4 to present the exciting work of five emerging artists, curated by the wonderful Sophia Park, in Chelsea Market, one of the largest and most significant cultural venues in New York City."
