Parallax Arts Collective is an inclusive organization of AANHPI (Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Island) artists and allies, representing diverse genders and artistic mediums.  Its mission is to amplify the visibility of AANHPI artists and to advance their presence and impact within the broader arts landscape.

CLUSTER (Creatives Laughing Uniting Sharing Talking Empowering Repeatedly) is a group of women artists who meet monthly for project driven and career promoting support.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS presented a unique challenge to members of Parallax Arts Collective, CLUSTER, and allied individuals: to engage creatively with the incomplete. Every artist has unfinished works in their studio or a collection of raw materials—pieces whose potential remains unrealized. This project invited members to freely give unfinished art or materials to fellow artists, who in turn responded by creating new artwork inspired by what they received.

Participation in UNFINISHED BUSINESS required a spirit of openness and collaboration. Artists needed to be willing to both give and accept materials freely, without reservation or expectation regarding their use. The emphasis was on trust, transformation, and the generative potential of creative exchange.
