A Glimpse of China, Chinese Culture and Arts Festival
Enter a virutal Chinese garden and partake in cultural traditions covering 5,000 years of Chinese history in this celebration of one of the world’s oldest cultures at Seattle Center Festál: A Glimpse of China - Chinese Culture and Arts Festival, Saturday, May 22, 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., in Center House.
The festival showcases the unique traditional art and culture of China through visual and performing arts and gift booth exhibitions, including Chinese music, dance, Wushu performances, works by nationally acclaimed artists, seminars and interactive activities.
This Year’s special activities include a 2010 Shanghai Expo’s extraordinary pavilions art rending display with informational brochures. The display will show the images of various pavilions with their amazing forms of art, architecture, technology, culture and other information.
“Given the fact that the Seattle Center was a World Expo Site 48 years ago, we believe the display of this year’s Shanghai Expo will generate enthusiasm and inspire the Seattle audience and to reflect back to the Seattle Expo in 1962. With the theme of ‘Better city, better life’, we also hope this display will pique the curiosity of our next generation to learn more about other cultures, and inspire them to become involved with art, architecture, city planning, and technology fields. Additionally, for those local citizens who are planning to attend the Shanghai Expo, it is also a great preview opportunity to learn about these pavilions” (A quote from Ruoxi Zhang, WCACC Chair). WCACC is also a partner of Seattle Center’s Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the World’s Fair in 2012.
A Glimpse of China - Chinese Culture and Arts Festival is presented by Seattle Center in partnership with the Washington Chinese Art Culture Committee.
