This family free day is the third in an ongoing series for the Portland Art Museum.  The offering for Sunday will feature Chinese dance, music, food, art-making, and cultural activities inspired by the three cities featured in China Design Now.

Visitors of all ages will have the opportunities to experiment with graphic design, and to build their own cities using recycled materials provided by the School and Community Reuse Action Project (SCRAP).

Special performances will include modern Chinese dancers drawing from hip-hop and classical Chinese dance styles; professional puppeteers Zhengli Xu and Yuqin Wang of Dragon Art Studio; and Tai Chi for 1,000, a participatory movement project organized by Horatio Hung-Yan Law, artist and faculty member at the Pacific Northwest College of Art, along with students from the Northwest Chinese Academy.

This free event runs from 12:00-5:00pm this Sunday, November 8th.  The schedule is varied and impressive with music, art, dancing, ping-pong, and delicious dim sum courtesy of Wong’s King Seafood Restaurant.

For the full line-up of activities, check out the Portland Art Museums calendar of events.

Free and fun sounds like the perfect way to spend a (forecasted) rainy Sunday in Portland.
