Preliminary photographs have been posted at www.chinesefinearts.org, with more to come, and links to wonderful coverage of the event by NBC-5, the Chicago Tribune, and Timeout are also available. While at the site, we hope that you will sign up for our mailing list so that you can receive updates about our future programs. Thank you again for your support!
Best regards,
