Hey Seattle, you’ve got a great event coming your way in May, the 2011 Asian Pacific American (APA) Heritage Bash. The event is a grand finale to APA Heritage Month and will feature Kollaboration Seattle musical artists: kings, New Heights, and Sam Shin as well as honor the Asian American leaders in the Puget Sound area. Last year’s guests included local cultural leaders, professionals, representatives from entertainment and non-profit groups. The event is highlighted as a night of appreciation for APA contributions and accomplishments. This year, industry leaders will be recognized in the following award categories: The Advocate, The Innovator and The Motivator of the year. Additionally, the 2011 APA Heritage Bash has partnered with Kollaboration Seattle, a non-profit organization committed to promoting APA presence in mainstream entertainment and media.
