The first Asia Weekend for All kicks off with a community celebration of Asian art and culture. Founder and organizer Jing Shui of JSVA Art says the intent of the event is to promote intercultural understanding and build strong relationships through art and culture, while having fun and getting to know more about each other. Activities include a live figure drawing session, brief talks about Asian art and culture with Shui and other guest artists, including Robert Bricker, Tori Cherry, Michael Williams, and more. Attendees can then enjoy Asian foods and beverages, and bid on artwork during the silent auction.
Saturday 5/6. Free, 10am–2pm. Studio 28, McGuffey Art Center, 201 Second St. NW. asiaweekendforall.com
