The Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience accepts exhibition proposals until the end of December. We review our exhibition schedule annually with our entire staff in January, and generally try to have our exhibition schedule planned 4-5 years in advance.

Background of the Museum

The mission of the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience is to connect everyone to the rich history, dynamic cultures and art of the Asian Pacific Americans through vivid storytelling and inspiring experiences.

The Wing is nationally recognized for our community-based exhibition model. In 1995, the Museum received the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) National Award for Museum Service on the strength of its cutting edge work in fostering broad-based participation in the development of exhibitions and programs.

With each exhibition, we bring many community members into the development process, and integrate oral history gathering and a range of multimedia techniques into our displays. Please note that if your exhibition is selected, The Wing will work with you to determine the best ways to integrate our community-based process and bring in the rich stories, experiences and resources from community members. For more information on our Community Process please click here.
