This guide focuses on organizing lists and resources on selected professional Asian American artists, architects, and designers who have done impactful work.
Notably, as an identity marker "Asian American" encompasses significantly more than what's reflected on this living document, so there are many ways that this can grow. For the purposes of this guide, the Pew Research Center's publications and fact sheets on "Asian Americans" as a constructed racial and ethnic category were used as points of reference.
