Let's C.H.A.T.!
The Chinatown History & Art Tour (C.H.A.T) program is an immersive, place-based learning opportunity that educates all learners on the art and history of Chinatown’s community activism and resiliency. This guided tour encourages guests to “immerse” their senses at different art activation sites in the neighborhood and deepen their understanding of the many stories of Chinatown. Visitors will deepen their artistic literacy by engaging with contemporary art and murals in our visual arts gallery and throughout the streets of Chinatown. Come join us in uncovering a multifaceted perspective of rich Asian American history!
