Studio San Giuseppe Gallery at Mount St. Joseph University is proud to announce Creative Asian Society, an extended exhibition showcasing the rich diversity, heritage, and contemporary expression of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) artists in the Greater Cincinnati region.

Opening on January 20 through March 18, 2026, this multifaceted exhibition highlights the dynamic interplay of cultural tradition and modern artistic practice, offering an expanded look at the voices shaping AAPI creativity today.

These artists represent a wide range of cultural backgrounds and artistic disciplines, united by their innovative approaches and meaningful connections to Asian heritage.

In addition to the visual artwork, the exhibition will present live performances by regional cultural and collegiate groups, including Cincinnati Dayton Taiko Drum Group, Sound of Joy Choir, Eunhwa Lee, Dancing Kimonas, Elizabeth Keller, MSJ Chamber Choir, and MSJ Concert Band.

A special performance showcase and visual art reception will take place in Studio San Giuseppe Gallery on Saturday, January 31, from 1-4 p.m. Guests are invited to enjoy live performances, meet artists, and explore the exhibition in the gallery.

Further, an Artist Talk featuring several participating visual artists will be held in Studio San Giuseppe Gallery on Sunday, March 1, from 2-4 p.m. This conversation will offer deeper insight into the artists’ processes, inspirations, and cultural perspectives.

“The Cultural Traditions and Artistic Voices featuring artwork from the Creative Asian Society members is more than just an exhibition; it is a vital conversation," says Michaelann Kelley Ed.D., Chair of the Department of Creative Arts and associate professor of Art and Design at Mount St. Joseph University. "We are honored to provide a platform for these powerful regional voices, celebrating the diverse cultural threads that enrich the Greater Cincinnati arts community.”

Mount St. Joseph University welcomes the community to join in celebrating the vibrancy and breadth of Asian artistry in our region.
