Our mission is to champion
Asian voices within multiple creative disciplines

offering opportunities for collaboration,
commissioning support, professional development,
community building, and advocacy to build greater equity
in the field of dance and the greater spectrum
of the performing arts.

Gold Standard Arts Foundation intends to:

  • Serve as a hub for dancers, educators, choreographers, composers, fashion designers, administrators and board members of Asian descent

  • Serve as a catalyst and resource for Asian American collaborations in dance, networking, education, and advocacy

  • Provide opportunities for professional development and networking

  • Provide commissioning and residency support for Asian American artists to work in dance

  • Be a home for Final Bow for Yellowface as an evergreen resource

    • Collect and maintain data on the field with respect to Asian American and Pacific Islander creative engagement
