PROJECT MISSION: SULU DC’S JULY 17, 2010 CONCERT
___

The Smithsonian Institution approximated that more than 350,000 Asian Pacific Americans live in the metropolitan area surrounding Washington, DC. In the U.S., there are roughly 30 Asian American and 24 Pacific Island American groups–perhaps with the 2010 Census, even more will be revealed! In short, AAPI folks have unique voices and experiences, and are in need of the support of audiences and backers like you to continue to be able to have a platform to use to share these stories.

July 2010 will mark the eighth show that Sulu DC has hosted. The Washington Post branded Sulu DC “the face of DC poetry” in a recent article. So, we’re making our July show worthy of the praise. We’ve confirmed the following artists for the July 17, 2010 show:

SNRG

Stone Forest Ensemble

Magnetic North + Taiyo Na

But, bands are expensive. We at Sulu DC want to continue to push the envelope and present quality arts to our national, inter-generational, multi-ethnic audiences. In order to sustain this, we need to gage interest and financial support through your pre-sale tickets to cover our costs (artist fees, sound, tech, venue, etc.) so that we’ll be ready to launch the July show.

EVEN IF YOU CAN’T ATTEND THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BACKING US! DONATIONS AS SMALL AS $5 CAN BE ACCEPTED. TO DATE, WE’VE RAISED $146 OF OUR $2,500 GOAL. WILL YOU KICK START US? CLICK HERE TO READ MORE, DONATE OR JUST LEARN MORE!

Small footnote: 2013 Summit is in DC, ya’ll! Sulu DC is hella, super extra ready to host the Summit fam!

love & light,
