Join New Art Center and our Guest Artist Jane Kim-Testa for a celebration of the Lunar New Year!
Sunday, February 2 · 12 – 4pm EST
This year is the year of the Blue Snake in the Korean calendar, or Wood Snake in the Chinese calendar.
The Year of the Wood Snake is meant to bring growth, resilience, harmony, wisdom, intuition, and creativity, making it a year well-suited for personal and professional development.
Art educators will lead participants through different make-and-take activities: origami snake, Korean kite coloring, lucky pouches, and Chinese calligraphy (featuring a demonstration by Ren Li Song).
Performances include:
Music by the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Association’s (GBCCA) music ensemble, at 1:30pm.
More performances to be announced soon!
This event is FREE for all, thanks to our sponsors.
