FORMOSArt Exhibition - People of Today, the Memories of Tomorrow

For those of you interested in museum events and exhibitions about cultural art and anthropology, here's one about the Taiwanese people and their crafts. Plus, proceeds from the admission fee goes to charity. Please see below for the general information and description from the President of the Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP) organization.

*Dear Community Organizers, Leaders, and Friends*,

On behalf of Taiwanese American Professionals in the Greater Los Angeles
area, I am emailing you today to ask if you would consider to help
advertising amongst your membership, list serve, or even sharing with
friends and family of our upcoming event: FORMOSArt Exhibition - The People
of Today, the Memories of Tomorrow.

This year TAP is proud to present the launch of our first cultural art
program of its kind, FORMOSArt, to focus on art-oriented events, and in
addition, take on causes that are more than just about ourselves.

We've assembled a group of Taiwanese American artists and creative
professionals, each specializing in different genres of art, including
photography, oil painting, Chinese brush calligraphy & painting, motion &
graphics design. A portion of the exhibition is dedicated to illustrating
the different facets of Taiwan, or aka Formosa, and its rich cultural
history and the beauty of its land.

Please come join us for the opening ceremony on Saturday, June 18th from 6pm
- 9pm, at the Museum X of Contemporary Art. We will officially kick off the
evening with our programs & scheduled performances starting at 6pm. There
will be live music performances, and a live calligraphy brush painting
demonstration by one of our featured artist, Enya Tseng - you won't want to
miss it!
