The following slide show will give you some background of Chinese calligraphy. You don’t have to have any Chinese background to learn Chinese calligraphy.
If you are interested in taking Chinese calligraphy, we are offering a 8-week course this fall. Click here to register. We will begin with the basics. We will begin writing with a pen or pencil first. Then we will proceed to using the “magic cloth”. After plenty of practice, we will use the brush. We do it step- by- step and methodically.
Saturday, May 4th from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm!
270 Elmwood Ave, Providence (between Elmwood Ave and Princeton Ave)

Our 2024 AAPI Heritage Month celebration is even more exciting than last year’s!
It’s condensed into a one-day celebration where we will be unveiling our
AAPI Mobile History Museum to you! Our theme this year is:
Asian American Activists that Changed History.
The first 50 people to show up to the event will get this delicious boba tea for FREE!
What is boba tea? If you’ve never tried it before, it is a drink that encompasses a lot of culture that you don’t
want to miss. Boba tea is an iconic drink from Taiwan that emerged in the 1980’s. It consists of milk, sugar,
and the famous tapioca “pearls” in the drink! It is a refreshing cold drink that can serve as a snack or as
a beverage with a meal, and comes in many different flavors. Today, this drink is sold in many cities such as
Providence, New York City, Los Angeles, etc. where Asian American culture is prevalent.
We’re bringing this beverage to the celebration for you to try!
We’ve hired the Angkor Boba Tea House truck at our site, equipped with lots of flavors for our event.
There will also be free pizza and snacks for all!
Have you seen our Prototype at the public libraries yet?
We are displaying the Prototype on-site for you to see at the celebration!
It depicts a possible floor-plan of a scale model of the future AAPI History Museum.
Enjoy a performance about the deeper cut into Asian American History!
