American Art is proud to open our doors to the Chinatown and DC community in celebration of the 2015 Lunar New Year! Help us bring in the year of the sheep with an afternoon of fun, featuring craft activities with the Confucius Institute, a reading corner with the DC Public Library, puppet performances by the Shaanxi Folk Arts Group, calligraphy demonstrations by John Wang, traditional dance performances by the Fairfax Chinese Dance Troupe, and much more. Get there early to see the Lion Parade around the building (weather permitting) by the Young Han Lion Dance Troupe, followed by an Awakening Ceremony to start the festivities.
