CACS Foundation was invited to have a Calligraphy Booth at this free family multicultural day on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at the Crocker Art Museum. Board Directors Doug Hsai, Cathy Wei, Brenda Fong and Karun Yee participated and dressed in traditional Chinese outfits.
We also had the honor of modeling our Chinese outfits for the famous Locke artist, Ning Hou who painted us on a 4′ x 4′ canvas as shown on the photos below. Douglas was left doing the calligraphy and holding down the booth by himself, while the 3 of us spent 3-1/2 hours as models for this oil painting by Ning Hou. Everyone in attendance enjoyed the painting and our Calligraphy booth!
This opportunity gave CACS Foundation a chance to interact with the art and multicultural community in a different way. Bringing focus on Chinese culture and talent is one of our mission statements we have accomplished.
