Kollaboration is an Asian Pacific Islander American/Canadian (APIA/C) non-profit organization and movement founded in 2000. Under the umbrella of ProKreation Productions, Kollaboration officially became incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in January of 2006.

Kollaboration began in Los Angeles, but has since then expanded to 9 other cities: Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Washington DC, Houston, Toronto, San Francisco and Tulsa. Every year, each city’s Kollaboration produces a competition in order to showcase local talent. The types of acts selected to perform during these shows ranges from musicians, dancers, comedians, spoken word artists, magicians and more.

 

Kollaboration Atlanta began in 2008, representing local Atlanta and Southeastern Asian American talent. This upcoming Spring, Kollaboration Atlanta will be hosting its third show at Center Stage.
