A Celebration in the Courtyard
February 1st, 10:30-11:30am and 1:30-3:30pm

The Garden is pleased to co-present the Chinese New Year Celebration in the Courtyard as part of the 2009 Cultural Olympiad. The event is quickly becoming a part of the Chinese New Year parade day celebration. Join Silk Road and Friends as they sing, dance and play music under a big tent and take part in the fun art and crafts projects available in the small tents scattered around the Courtyard.

The courtyard-fair atmosphere, coupled with the cross-cultural performances, provide an opportunity for artists from Vancouver’s different cultural backgrounds to display their creativity and collaborate to create new sounds for a traditional festival. We invite Vancouver to celebrate Chinese New Year with a world vision!

To get in the spirit of the New Year, we are proud to present the Vancouver Chinese Artist Federation, which will exhibit a collection of work celebrating the upcoming year of the Ox. It will feature original art in Chinese traditional and contemporary styles.
