The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center will honor hip-hop and R&B artist Jay Park and jazz band Hiroshima at its inaugural celebration, The Party, the center announced Monday (April 22).

Park will be awarded the Game Changer Award for his work as an artist, songwriter, choreographer and entrepreneur. Grammy-nominated band Hiroshima will be honored at the event with the Legend Award in Music. In addition to music, the center will also recognize contributions in other categories including sports and culinary arts.

“The Party will celebrate the indelible contributions of Asian Pacific Americans to the American experience,” said Lisa Sasaki, the director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center. “From music to technology, sports to entertainment, these modern history makers inspire Americans of every ethnicity, religion and socioeconomic background by demolishing barriers and challenging timeworn stereotypes with their talents, perseverance, and ingenuity.”
