NEW JOURNAL!

AS IS brings together bright new voices from the Vietnamese American arts community. Drawing from all around the San Francisco Bay Area, this collection of photography, painting, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction is entirely edited, designed, and produced by fellow emerging artists. AS IS showcases a vibrant mix of up-and-coming talents and their visions of urban city youth, water-fronted city lights, working-class neighborhood nail salons, lovers and buildings and families and emotions burning with fire (sometimes literally), and much more. In its first publication project, the Vietnamese Artists Collective showcases some of the freshest and hottest artists to come from one of the youngest ethnic communities in the country.

Contributing artists include: Han Pham, Thien Nguyen, Sylvia La, Veanne Cao, Tan Khanh, Dzung Vo, Phung Thi Chinh, Dan Diggity, Cuong Thanh Luong, Isabelle Thuy Pelaud, Ky-Phong Tran, Anh-Hoa Thi Nguyen, Ly Nguyen, Danny Thanh Nguyen, Alisha Nguyen, Yimi Tong, Jimmy Thong Tran, and Vinh Ngo.
