EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS features the work of 25 artists of the APIMEDA diaspora who live and create in the Baltimore and the DMV area. The exhibition title is a sardonic nod to what the phrase “exceeds expectations” triggers across the APIMEDA community while also showcasing works that transgress inherent preconceptions of artworks expected to be seen at an AAPI exhibition during AAPI heritage month.

The artists selected for this exhibition create spectacularly audacious artworks using their chosen medium and independent visual languages. Through their stylistic choices, humor, subject matter, and more, their artworks visually deviate from all stereotyped clichéd within traditional cultural art settings. In addition, this year's Asia North exhibition exceeds the scope of our previous Asia North exhibitions by taking place in more locations in unexpected ways from Motor House to spaces throughout North Avenue Market.
