Through a partnership with AARP, Asia Society Texas provides multiple entry points for communities to learn more about Asian cultures, traditions, and talents. Asia Society's holistic programming both educates and entertains by creating thought-provoking experiences of the highest quality from a variety of countries, cultures, points of view, and art forms.

Asia Society Texas is hosting seven (7) educational events taking place between July 2022 and January 2023, available to AARP members and others (as space is available). The listed virtual and in-person events connect to AARP's local priorities of health and cultural understanding. Below are the classes that are offered, and are open to Asia Society Texas audiences as well as AARP members.
