With a history of 45 years, the Chinese Arts Association of San Francisco is a well-known North American art group with a complex organization, large number of members, and major influence.
Many of its members regard calligraphy and painting as part of their daily lives. Through the process of making art, they nourish and express themselves while maintaining emotional connections with their homeland.
The art association not only focuses on the mutual reference and integration of various painting genres, but also strives to stimulate the potential of individual artists. With the integration of contemporary elements, traditional Chinese arts innovate and blossom in modern days.
