Celebrate Lunar New Year with Art
Flushing Town Hall presents Red Horizon: Art. Heritage. New Energy, a vibrant Lunar New Year art exhibition celebrating Asian art, culture, and renewal. Highlighting the dynamic spirit of the Asian diaspora, this showcase features 15 visionary Asian American and Asian diaspora artists—each living and working in New York—whose practices bridge ancestral tradition with contemporary expression. Together, their works echo the courage, vitality, and forward momentum of the Year of the Red Horse.
Spanning painting, installation, and mixed media, Red Horizon creates a compelling dialogue between heritage and imagination. The featured artists explore themes of memory, identity, migration, and belonging—each offering a distinct voice to a shared visual narrative shaped by resilience and creative evolution.
The title Red Horizon evokes dawn, transition, and infinite possibility—a symbolic crossing into a new year, guided by inherited wisdom and contemporary energy. Visitors are invited to explore how cultural memory and artistic innovation come together to shape new horizons of connection, community, and hope.
Special programs include a traditional Korean Tea Ceremony led by artist Sei Ryun Chun and the family-friendly Happy Neigh Year! Horse Painting Workshop with Stephanie S. Lee—Flushing Town Hall teaching artist and curator of this exhibition—drawing inspiration from the joyful imagery of Korean folk art. The exhibition concludes with a closing reception featuring an artist talk and a live musical instrument demonstration by multidisciplinary artist Eugenie Chao, offering insight into her unique blend of visual art, sound, and cultural storytelling.
Running through March 1, 2026, Red Horizon: Art. Heritage. New Energy is more than an exhibition—it is a gathering of Asian culture, community, and creative renewal in the heart of Queens.
