Come join the Chinese New Year Party and celebrate with AACCOM!!  

The Chinese New Year party tickets sales has started on January 8th. in the multi-purpose room at Northside.  The sales will go on until Friday, 2/12/2010, the day before the New Year party.  Please stop by the multi-purpose room and buy your tickets early.

As you should know this year the New Year party will be a market festival with many vendor stations for games and food.  Each vendor station will require different number of tokens for purchasing food and playing games depending on the cost of the games and food dishes. 

The ticket pre-sales price now is $5 each for either adult or child.  This $5 value ticket will be exchanged for 25 game/food tokens (value of $0.25 each) at the New Year party on 2/13/2010.  So each pre-sales ticket gives you 5 free tokens.  You can exchange your tokens and buy more tokens at the Ticket Sales table at a $0.25 per token cost on 2/13.

This different New Year party format is an experiment this year; your participation and support are highly needed for this and future New Year party success!  Thank you.

Tradition Transformed: Chang Ku‐nien, Master Painter of the 20th Century

January 23—April 18, 2001
Curated by Wen‐chien Cheng
University of Michigan Museum of Art Upcoming Chinese Painting Exhibition at A. Alfred Taubman Gallery I

Chang, Ku-nien was one of the most famous master painters of Taiwan.  His son, a retired physician and currently lives in Ann Arbor, is a very generous supporter of local Chinese community and mainstream society.  Dr. Chang has donated many of his father's paintings to the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA).  This donation may be the biggest collection of Mr. Chang's works in the world.

The guess curator, Ms. Chang also from Taiwan and with a Ph.D. degree in Chinese Art History from UM, sure will provide wonderful analysis from both Chinese and western points of views.  It sure will be worth a trip to newly renovated UMMA.

Guest curator Wen-chien Chang (U-M alum) will introduce the expressive work of Chang Ku-nien (1906-1987), a versatile and proficient artist from the ancient tradition of Chinese painting.  Myong Raymond, who was a student of Chang Ku-nien, will give a demonstration of brush painting.

These programs are made possible in part by the E. Rhodes and Leona B. Carpenter Foundation, the University of Michigan Office of the Provost, the Center for Chinese Studies, and the Blakemore Foundation.
