"Souls of NYC Chinatown: Passion, Hope, Resilience" art exhibition

Opening Reception is Saturday, October 2, 2021, 2-6 pm.

Exhibition thru 10/23 (Fri 3-6pm, Sat-Sun 12-6pm, Mon-Thur by appointment at soulsofchinatown@gmail.com)

This is an art exhibition of 15 local artists to highlight the people who dedicate their lives to serving the Chinatown community. It also celebrates the everyday folks who strive for a better life despite extraordinary challenges.

The people recognized in the exhibition are passionate about the survival of other members of the Chinese community, because their vision places community over self gains. We celebrate late professor Peter Kwong, late photographer Corky Lee, Judge Doris Ling-Cohan, dancers and choreographer H.T. Chen and Dian Dong, and others.

We, as artists, join together in the hopes that through unity, we as a community of residents, workers, small building owners and businesses, and Chinatown-is-our-second-home enthusiasts will come out on the other side of the pandemic better and stronger.
