Oakland Asian Cultural Center

Founded in 1984 by a coalition of advocates for a strong artistic and cultural force in Oakland

Chinatown, the Oakland Asian Cultural Center (OACC) is a community center dedicated to

promoting Asian Pacific American (APA) culture, history and heritage through the arts. OACC

believes that cultural arts are essential to vibrant, healthy, inclusive and equitable communities. Since

opening its own facility in 1996, OACC has presented countless programs that foster cross-cultural

and intergenerational dialogue and understanding, community collaborations, and social justice. To

help sustain OACC’s programs and operations, OACC earns revenue from renting its facilities,

funding from public agencies, and contributions from charitable donors. For more information,
