Celebrate the Year of the Monkey at the Chinese New Year Festival, Saturday, February 13, 2016. The Crow Collection of Asian Art, will feature activities for the whole family, from 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Mayor Mike Rawlings is scheduled to join the festivities at 6:10 PM. The Festival will end with fireworks at 7:15 PM!

The Main Stage will be on Flora Street, in front of the Crow Collection. Enjoy Lion and Dragon Dances, Traditional Chinese Music and fashions, HuaYun Chinese Orchestra and more. Visit the Lotus Shop tent and shop for a special Valentine's Day gift! Food trucks will be conveniently parked for food and beverages.

Activities inside the Crow Collection are designed for the entire family. Make a monkey mask, create a Chinese lantern, design a dragon puppet, learn about calligraphy, and watch a Quigong demonstration. Wear comfortable clothing and join a yoga instruction class designed for parents and young children. Tour the Sculpture Garden, with Dr. Jacqueline Chao, at 3:00 PM.

The Crow Collection of Asian Art has one of the most beautiful Jade Collections I've ever seen. The intricate pieces of carved Jade, both large and small, are extraordinary.

Come and enjoy a day of fun with family in the Dallas Arts District!

Larry and Sheila, there were activities for all ages and interests. Everyone came away with increased knowledge of Asian Art and Culture.

Jeff, the Collection is truly amazing. In addition to the permanent collection, curated exhibits and other cultural events are held at the museum. The Crow Collection is across the street from the Nasher Sculpture Center and a block away from the Dallas Museum of Art. I'm glad you had time to check out the website.

Sharon, sounds like the Dallas Art district would be a great place to enjoy an afternoon!

Joan, the Dallas Arts District is perfect place to spend a day with the entire family. Klyde Warren Park is just to the north of the area and each museum has something for people of all ages and interests.

Sharon Parisi it sounds like the Crow Collection is superb ... not only beautiful jade and other items to see, but interactive activities as well. You're lucky to have it nearby!

Maureen, I like the term "superb" for this collection. The friendly staff makes this museum a joy to visit.

Hi Sharon Parisi , I bet the Chinese New Years Festival was a lot of fun. I have never been to one.

Apr 06, 2016 11:48 AM

Just thought I'd drop by to say hi Sharon! I hope you're doing well and getting rest too. I would love to read a post about what all is involved in mediation and tips to stay out of trouble. The work that you do behind the scenes for mediation is so important. Thank you Sharon.

Apr 08, 2016 11:00 PM

Patricia, many think that mediation is a mysterious process and some think it is meditation. I just returned from a crawfish boil where real estate and mediation were hot topics.
