About Sawai

Sawai is a self-taught artist and muralist whose work focuses on cultivating safe, creative spaces for youth and adults to reconnect with their inner child. Through community-driven murals and art therapy workshops, she combines vibrant, bold color palettes and dynamic shapes to tell powerful stories. Her art challenges Asian stereotypes, carving out a unique path as she continues to build her legacy.

Compound’s Art For All is a series of hands-on workshops that teach various artistic mediums and encourages a new way of making art that’s fun and engaging for the whole family. You will be able to learn drawing, collage, painting, performance, sculpture, ceramics, music-making, and much more.

Workshops are free and open to all thanks to this year’s sponsor, The Port of Long Beach, U.S. Bank, and a donation by The Rudolph J. and Daphne A. Munzer Foundation.
