About Us
The Naya Collective is a nonprofit initiative under Naya Magazine that unites Asian American and Pacific Islander creatives and organizations in the arts. Focused on collaboration, the Collective connects literary magazines, art clubs, youth artists, and cultural initiatives to amplify AAPI voices and foster innovative projects.
By building a supportive network, the Naya Collective empowers AAPI creatives to share resources, collaborate on impactful work, and amplify their presence in industries where their voices have often been underrepresented.
We believe in the power of community-driven creativity to inspire change, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the diverse stories of the AAPI experience. Through joint projects and shared platforms, the Naya Collective is shaping a more inclusive future for the arts.
