We also highlight China by celebrating its wonderful art forms on Tuesday, September 18 from 6-8 p.m. We have a drop-in event showcasing a variety of Chinese arts, such as calligraphy, painting, paper cutting, ceramics, or textiles. We have tables displaying cultural artifacts, such as scrolls, vases, painting, clothing, tea, etc.

"I wanted to thank you for making the event such a wonderful success!  I think that everyone had a great time and appreciated all the wonderful aspects of Chinese culture that were represented. It was such a pleasure working with your teachers. The paper cutting and knot-making activities were such a hit!"
