    Celebrating Lunar New Year: Artists’ Dinner in Chinatown

    I recently hosted a vibrant and heartfelt artist’s dinner in the heart of Chinatown. It was to celebrate Lunar New Year and benefit CCSC a local non-profit organization.

    Soon, more photos from the event will be added. Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this memorable night!

    This special evening united talented artists from the recent Urban Romance art show. It was a night filled with community, culture, and creativity. Our venue was filled with the warm energy of friends and collaborators. The tables were adorned in festive Lunar New Year colors. The décor reflected the celebration.

    Guests enjoyed sharing stories about their artwork. They shared the inspirations behind their pieces. They also reveled in the joy of coming together for a meaningful cause. The highlight of the night was the sense of connection.

    Artists and supporters gathered to celebrate Lunar New Year. They also supported vital community programming through the non-profit partnership. Delicious dishes and lively conversation set the tone for an evening that felt both intimate and inspiring.

    Set inside the underground Union Square Muni transit station, this show explores what it means to love in cities, with them and through them.

    We’re seeking original visual work that captures the emotional landscape of city life:

    – Where do you find softness in the noise?


    – Where do you see beauty hiding in plain sight?


    – What about the city makes you swoon?

    • Original artwork ready for hanging (any 2D medium, not heavy, ideally smaller than 16×20″)
    • A short artist bio or statement (2–4 sentences)
    • A short statement about how your entry relates to the group show theme. (1 paragraph)
    • A high-res digital file (300ppi) of your piece to be included in a postcard series for sale in the kiosks.
