Lunar New Year Celebration: Year of the Dog

Sunday, Feb 18 | 10:30 AM—4 PM

Roll in the Year of the Dog with talented dancers, musicians and storytellers at the Asian Art Museum’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration. This year’s celebration features Chinese acrobatics and lion dance drumming with local favorite Red Panda Acrobats. After the workshops and performances, enjoy author Oliver Chin’s story about the zodiac calendar and Year of the Dog characteristics — who knows, you may discover something new about yourself! To round out the day’s activities, have your name written in Chinese calligraphy and make art inspired by countries across Asia that celebrate the Lunar New Year, activities developed and led by the museum’s Art Speak teen interns.
