Opening Reception & Artist Panel: Hua Yuan: AAPI Artists in Bloom

“Hua Yuan: AAPI Artists in Bloom” is an exhibit showcasing the art, creativity, and artistry of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) artists based in metro-Atlanta.

Hua Yuan translates to “flower garden” in Mandarin Chinese; the theme is AAPI artists’ interpretation of change, growth, and nature.

Pieces for the exhibit were selected by Karina Teichert and Corinne Sutherlin.
