Charlottesville’s 2nd Annual Asia Weekend
Expanding Community Friendship through Art and Culture
JSVA Art / Friends of Cville Downtown
The 2nd annual Asia Weekend for All 2024 event is proudly partnering with the Friends of Cville Downtown Foundation this year. The mission of the Friends of Cville Downtown is to make Charlottesville a better-than-ever, more inclusive place for everyone. This same mission has brought us together to work on the AWFA for our Charlottesville communities. The AWFA continues to focus on creating a series of art and cultural activities with our local and greater area art community to showcase Asian art and culture during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May every year.
