Leadership in Action Interviews Have Commenced!
Thank you to everyone who applied to this year’s Leadership In Action program! We’re thrilled to announce that we received an incredible 78 applications. Interviews are officially underway for the challenging selection process, as we have the tough task of narrowing it down to just 40 youth participants. Stay tuned for updates as we gear up for another impactful year of youth leadership development!
2024 Taste of Kizuna Gallery Now Live!🥂

The photo gallery is officially up, featuring highlights from the evening, including fun behind-the-scenes moments in the kitchen thanks to Kevin Charles Keizuchi Lew and Jade Hyunh. Take a peek at the chefs in action and the delicious dishes that made this event unforgettable.
Introducing Our 2024 Annual Appeal!
We’re in the home stretch of our year-end fundraising campaign, 100K for Kizuna! With $68,000 already raised from Taste of Kizuna and Giving Tuesday, we’re calling on our community to help us cross the finish line and reach our $100,000 goal by January 31st.
This is your last chance to make a tax-deductible donation for 2024 and sustain Kizuna’s programs and mission well into the new year. Let’s go the distance together—join the marathon and push us to the goal!
We’re 68% of the way there! Will you help us cross the finish line?

Emergence: Art from Life
October 8-December 15, 2024
Tuesday-Sunday, 12-4pm
Emergence is open at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center and is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs to be presented as part of PST ART presented by Getty.
Emergence: Art from Life is singular among PST ART exhibitions for its presentation of living biological artworks and projects created in collaboration with a global cohort of synthetic biologists and medical researchers. Visitors will encounter human bones grown from synthetic mother-of-pearl; objects dyed with bioengineered indigo pigment; and living, microscopic human tear glands that cry. These works invite us to consider what it means to be human now: our aspirations, follies, entanglements, and impacts on symbiotic life forms, each other, and the planet.
