Chinese American Museum

The Chinese American Museum presents "Seasons in Cosmos: Works by Diana Shuiu Wong", the first exhibition to occupy the museum's newly expanded gallery space. Join us for the opening reception on Wednesday, May 27, from 6:30 to 9 pm. (CAM members are invited for an early preview at 5:30 pm.) RSVP today through our link in bio. Spanning more than seven decades, Wong's body of work is emblematic of her profound connection with nature and the subject of environmental uncertainty. Her art has been described as bold, esoteric, ephemeral, and fearless. Wong began studying calligraphy and painting at age 5 and later studied in Rome, London, and New York. She eventually settled in Los Angeles and opened her own gallery in Santa Monica. Known for blending I-Ching with traditional Chinese and contemporary Western aesthetics, Wong has often ventured beyond the conventions of formal training to experiment with the freedom of abstraction. Don't miss "Seasons in Cosmos," which opens May 28 and runs through April 2027.

Honored to celebrate my second Spring Fest at the historic El Pueblo, home to the Chinese American Museum. Together, we honored the Year of the Horse and the new beginnings of spring! 🐎🌷

Jonathan Zheng was introduced to the art of guzheng performance under the guidance of his father, Paul Zheng, who passed down both his musical skill and his deep appreciation for the instrument’s history and heritage. For those who may be unfamiliar, the guzheng is a plucked zither with a history spanning more than 2,500 years and is one of China’s most iconic traditional instruments. Through years of study and dedication, Jonathan has continued the family tradition of guzheng mastery, while developing his own artistry and keeping the instrument’s rich cultural legacy alive for new audiences.  Thank you to our sponsors at the Department of Cultural Affairs and Longo Toyota.
