With an awareness of Art’s ability to make social contributions as much as the ability to explore aesthetics, concepts, and forms, Kim, as the executive director and co-founder of Civil Art, endeavors to make community-empowering projects through his charitable organization.

Civil Art advocates cultural awareness of Asian / Pacific Islanders (API) through social engagement programs that utilize art and literature. Their progressive curatorial model promotes institutional change, education, and community impact.
