As the year draws to a close, we're thrilled to share the good news that Serica has been honored with TWO wins this year at the Anthem Awards!


The Anthem Awards celebrate purpose and mission-driven work from people, companies, and organizations worldwide. This year, at the 5th Annual Anthem Awards, the Serica Initiative was honored with not one, but TWO Gold wins, the highest standing in each category.


Voices Rising: What's Next for Asian Americans in the Arts



Our flagship program, Voices Rising, produced in partnership with ALL ARTS, shines a spotlight on AAPI culture and honors the contributions of the Asian diaspora to various fields. Voices Rising: What's Next for Asian Americans in the Arts, which featured AAPI luminaries in the arts, performance, and entertainment, such as BD Wong and Rosalind Chao, won a Gold win in the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging category.


Climate Artists: Season 2



Our docuseries, Climate Artists, also produced in partnership with ALL ARTS, features incredible artists and storytellers who have been informed and inspired by the climate crisis. Climate Artists Season 2, which featured artists Maya Lin, sTo Len, Courtney Mattison, Ranjani Prabhakar and Superhero Clubhouse, representing diverse and interdisciplinary art fields across architecture, sculpture, music, and theater, took home the Gold win in the Sustainability, Environment & Climate category. Climate Artists Season 2 also won a New York Emmy for the episode featuring Courtney Mattison—read more about the behind the scenes of the episode production on our blog here!




Recognition Empowers our Stories



The Serica Initiative is incredibly grateful to be recognized this year at the Anthem Awards with two Gold wins, spotlighting our work in changemaking storytelling across diverse fields. These wins also champion our work in amplifying Asian American leaders, luminaries, and creators—recognition of our work allows for us to continue to recognize the amazing work done by AAPIs across the world!


A Win for the Community



We are incredibly grateful to the community that made these wins possible—to our partners at ALL ARTS, who collaborate with us to create such meaningful and impactful docuseries and programs, as well as the incredible artists and leaders featured in Voices Rising and Climate Artists, whose amazing work and efforts deserve to be recognized.


Thank you as well to our Serica community, who has supported, attended, and voted for our programs! We couldn't have won these awards without you. We have a lot more exciting programs and events planned in 2026 (including our next Voices Rising!) and we look forward to continuing to amplify Asian America with you! ❤️
