The dream of building an Austin Asian Resource Center was born of the various community leaders who recognized a common need. As the capitol city of Texas and as a place where the present and the future leaders gather to make important decisions for our communities, the center sees a need to focus on the future and aggressively build a culturally rich city. Their vision is to build a resource center that will increase commerce and showcase the best of Asian culture to educate, congregate, and celebrate the heritage of Asian Americans in Texas.
