The Annual Asia Society Gala Honors Achievements in Asian Community

Every year, the Asia Society hosts a gala to aid in charitable contributions to the Asian community.

The Annual Gala is a premier event attended by leading figures from the fields of business, arts, culture, entertainment, and sports from across the globe. This year’s gala was held on May 22 here in Los Angeles at the Skirball Cultural Center.

Established in Los Angeles in 1985, Asia Society Southern California (ASSC) is ideally situated at the gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. ASSC has played a pivotal role through creative programs and activities in increasing shared knowledge, enhancing dialogue and furthering cultural exchanges transcending regional boundaries.

As part of the global Asia Society, which was founded more than 60 years ago in New York City, ASSC has launched many creative initiatives and programs addressing current issues of importance across the fields of the arts, culture, policy, business and education.
