Arts East-West is a Montréal-based, non-profit artist-driven organization specializing in thematic festivals since 1996, with no limitation on national boundaries in pan-Asia and the diaspora.Our initiatives include Korean Film Festival Canada (KFFC), the Asian Art Publication Lab (AAPLab), and Gallery East-West (GEW).Arts East-West or Korean Film Festival (both names are registered to reflect on our organization’s multiple projects), is a non-profit media arts organization based in Montréal. We facilitate the works of Asian-identifying artists in Canada and abroad. Our long-standing motto since 1996, “Where East Meets West,” represents our commitment to bring together diverse communities to enrich both audiences and artists in Québec, Canada and beyond through Asian Canadian media arts.KFFC and AAPLab of Arts East-West has a three-fold mission:1) Exploring Korean and pan-Asian Canadian made digital media and visual arts in an attempt to understand its place within the diverse cultures and heritages of Canada, through both an intercultural and intergenerational lens.2) Creating Asian Canadian media arts contents and art projects through various artist-driven, theme-based projects in order to discover and foster a notion of cultural diversity within Canada, exploring what it means to be Canadian and how Asian Canadian art reflects its own Canadian-ness.3) Bridging the gap between Eastern and Western cultural identities through the showcasing of marginalized voices, supporting emerging artists, and embracing technology and the opportunities afforded for cultural and artistic discourse in the international online community, both as a citizen of Canada and the world.
