We invite you to join us at our events, become a sponsor or give whatever your heart and checkbook allow to support our mission and to help us reach our goal each year! Together, we can continue to change the lives of so many across the ocean and here at home.

As part of our mission, Against The Grain Productions produces educational, enlightening and entertaining events that drive awareness to Asian American culture and the arts. In addition to the community outreach this provides, proceeds from ticket sales, auctions, raffles and other fundraisers at these events contribute a significant amount of funding for our supported orphanages in Asia, scholarship fund and community outreach programs.  In order to make the maximum contribution toward our supported causes from these events and deliver an amazing experience for our audiences, we count on the support of generous sponsors.

In 2016, we held our 5th Annual Groundbreakers Speak: A Conversation with Asian American Mover and Shakers in partnership with the National Association of Asian American Professionals' (NAAAP) Annual National Convention held for the first time ever in Dallas. Plans are currently underway to bring this program to a broader audience via the internet.

FFAP TMFashion for a Passion

Fashion for a Passion is our main annual event that draws people from all over the Dallas community in a celebration of emerging Asian American talent in the arts. Each year, guests enjoy musical performances, a fashion runway show and silent/live auctions that include pieces from our featured artists. Fashion for a Passion is also the perfect opportunity for us to give center stage to a few of our ATG Artistic/Groundbreaker Leadership Scholarship winners.

Each year, Fashion for a Passion just gets better and better! This year, we will host our 10th (and final) Fashion for a Passion charity event with a stellar line-up on Saturday, September 22, 2018 at sixty five hundred.
