Hayward Area Historical Society (HAHS) in partnership with the Hayward Arts Council (HAC) presents an exhibition celebrating our Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Opening May 8, the exhibition in the second floor art and history galleries runs until September 13 at the HAHS Museum in downtown Hayward.
HAHS executive director Diane Curry said, “This area is one of the most diverse in the state and all of the different languages and cultures are part of the stories that make the Hayward area unique. This exhibition provides an opportunity to explore traditions from many different countries that have significant populations in the Hayward area today.”
The first free public program for the exhibition is scheduled for Saturday, May 10, 11:30am at the HAHS Museum. Local artist Ruey Syrop will give a lesson on Chinese calligraphy.
On Saturday, June 14, at 11:30am, volunteers from the Eden Township Japanese American Citizen League and the Eden Japanese Community Center join for a workshop on the art of origami.
All supplies are provided and programs are free, but registration is required at haywardareahistory.org.
