Wing Luke Asian Museum
The Wing Luke Asian Museum engages the Asian Pacific American communities and the public in exploring issues related to the culture, art and history of Asian Pacific Americans. The Wing Luke Asian Museum is the only pan-Asian Pacific American museum in the country, and the first Smithsonian Institution affiliate in the Pacific Northwest. It has redefined the role of museums by pioneering a model of community-based service that embraces the stories of immigration populations that have enriched and strengthened the American experience. The Museum has embarked upon an extraordinary journey to transform a building and a community by raising $24.9 million for a capital and endowment campaign. The capital phase - to raise $23.2 million to rehabilitate the East Kong Yick Building as its permanent home for the Museum - is underway. Like the Anne Frank House and the Lower Eastside Tenement Museum in New York, the Museum will preserve a significant historic edifice as a living cultural center. From its new home, the Museum will expand its role as an economic and community resource for a distinctly diverse neighborhood, as one of Seattle's historic and creative treasures, and as a cultural institution of national significance.                407 Seventh Avenue South Information ResourcesWing Luke Asian Museum / Seeks Grants ManagerThe Wing Luke Asian Museum seeks an experienced writer/administrator to generate significant grant funding resources and maintain adequate financial oversight.
