Behind These Scenes of Art in Storefronts July 17, 2010

Art in Storefronts continues to garner national attention with its colorful murals and provocative installations that enliven Chinatown streets. Join the artists and property owners to learn about the Lion’s Den and the heyday of Wentworth Alley captured in Robert Minervini’s mural. Hear about the hungry visitors who try to enter Niana Liu’s faux-restaurant installation and how local merchants have embraced her. And find out how Leland Wong photographed 100 children in less than one month. These stories and more will be shared at a bi-lingual community discussion for Art in Storefronts.
An artist-led tour of the storefronts and murals follows the discussion.
