The programs offered at the Charles B. Wang Center this fall are designed to provide unique experiences that highlight the beauty of Asian cultural heritage. They will educate and entertain while providing a glimpse into the vibrant traditions and innovative artistry that define Asian cultures.
“I am thrilled to present our upcoming season of cultural programs. This fall, we have curated a diverse array of exhibitions, workshops, films, lectures, and performances that celebrate the richness of Asian traditions and contemporary creativity,” said Jinyoung A. Jin, director of Asian art and culture at the Wang Center.
Upcoming activities this fall include the serene art of Japanese flower arranging, the intricate craft of bonsai, and enlightening lectures that explore both traditional and modern Asian art and culture. A selection of captivating films and delightful shadow puppet shows also promise to inspire.
