Local gallery/school/literary incubator the Kearny Street Workshop is dedicated to encouraging Asian Pacific American creativity. It does such a good job that there isn't enough time or space in town to properly display the results (Although the new direction the Chinese Culture Center's gallery is taking ought to help). APAture is KSW's annual blowout festival; this year it's organized around featured artists "who have broken through the ‘emerging’ point in their careers," say organizers. This evening's "Performance Night" stars playwright, comedian and actor Kenny Yun, whose one-man show Lettucetown Lies played the Marsh Theater to enthusiastic audiences and good reviews earlier this year. Each of the genre-themed nights also includes contributions by those still "emerging," and we're especially exited that Thursday's "Film Night" includes SF Weekly Mastermind Grant nominee Nara Denning.

APAture starts tonight at 7 at Intersection for the Arts, 446 Valencia (at 15th St.), S.F. Admission is $10-$15.
