It all began with an idea … to foster belonging, representation and intergenerational connection within the South Asian community; while building inclusive bridges across the Tri Cities through dialogue, arts, mentorship and collective action. TSACS is committed to strengthening the community’s reception of diversity, has sparked healthy curiosity and engagement and challenged long-standing stereotypes through our events, platforms and collaborations. Through thoughtfully curated experiential offering, TSACS has enhanced community happiness, sporting spirit across demographics and overall cultural intelligence of citizens as well as reshaped how local residents and newcomers connect with small businesses and artists. TSACs intentionally creates spaces where talent and entrepreneurship can integrate meaningfully across cultures.
