Chinese Paper Cutting & Music for Asian Pacific Islander Month
May is the Asian Pacific American Heritage month. We have a special program to celebrate this culture feast. Please join us and enjoy the amazing activity. Chinese paper-cutting, or jianzhi (剪紙), is a folk art that originated in China around the sixth century AD. The art form is most strongly associated with China because paper was invented in the country – by Cai Lun in the Eastern Han Dynasty. As paper became more affordable, paper-cutting became one of the most important types of Chinese folk art.
