Time flies. It is almost time to turn the clock back and then the holidays will be upon us!

THROUGH DECEMEBER 10, 2023

Painter James Kao loves to draw from observing and then imagining nature. For our next Spotlight Series, he will show five drawings that reflect on how built and unbuilt (natural?) worlds confront each other; and three additional drawings which reveal how war cuts through both.

If you are visiting Chinatown, don’t forget to stop by for our permanent and temporary exhibits.
