Presented by the Greenway Conservancy

Join the Greenway Conservancy in celebrating the Lunar New Year through our Public Art Program and our continued annual curation of Chinese Zodiac-inspired artworks on The Greenway!

Each year since 2015, the Conservancy has installed a new, temporary artwork in Auntie Kay and Uncle Frank Chin Park on The Greenway that speaks to the current year’s Chinese Zodiac animal. These installations celebrate the culture, history, and traditions of the Lunar New Year and the Chinatown community through the ideas and expressions of contemporary artists.

Conservancy Director and Curator of Public Art Lucas Cowan and our Greenway artists will explore the current Year of the Mouse through Furen Dai’s A Mouse with Ears and Tail and look ahead to the Year of the Ox with Andy Li’s The Herd. Hear from the artists themselves about the meaning behind their work and connections to the Chinese Zodiac.

Moderated by Sheila Novak, Public Art Project Manager
