ACA Youth Cultural Summer Camp 2020

Welcome to the ACA Youth Cultural Summer Camp!
ACA’s Summer Camp has a 20-year history, popular among both Chinese and non-Chinese families. As part of its mission of cultural sharing, the camp has allowed countless students to explore and experience Chinese culture, as well as to develop a passion for their roots.
Though we cannot be together in person this year, we would still like to maintain the essence of our camp. After careful deliberation, we have decided to move our summer camp online! Students will have the option to participate in a variety of classes and interact with teachers, counselors, and fellow campers.
As always, our purpose is to introduce, explore, and immerse our campers into Chinese Culture by engaging them in Chinese art, dance, martial arts, language, games, and music. In addition, we also hope to teach campers important life skills such as responsibility, communication, teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking.

Garden Symphony – The Memorial Art Exhibition of Rui-shia Sung

Garden Symphony - The Memorial Art Exhibition of Rui-shia Sung - Part II
2021-10-30 11:00 - 17:00 | ACA Chinese Community Center, 32585 Concord Drive, Madison Heights, MI, 48071-1141, United States
2021 Culture and Arts Program Series
Garden Symphony – The Memorial Art Exhibition of Rui-shia Sung: Part II
The Association of Chinese Americans, Inc. (ACA) is committed to uplifting local artists, and we will be hosting Garden Symphony – The Memorial Art Exhibition of Rui-shia Sung Part II – from 11am to 5pm on Saturday, October 30. The exhibition, which is part of our 2021 Culture and Arts Program Series, will be open to anyone interested in Chinese and Western painting, and all paintings displayed at the exhibit will be available for sale.
Please visit http://photos.ruishia.com/GalleryThumbnails.aspx?gallery=4892188 for artwork preview.
Ms. Rui-shia Sung studied painting intermittently for almost four years with masters such as Yung- hsiang Wu, Chung-lin Yu, and Ho-nien Au in her early years. From semi-abstract flowers to figurative insects, birds, fish and butterflies, her colorful ink expressions are lively and vigorous. Her paintings reflect her unique perspective on the details of mother nature and the foundation and integration of Chinese and Western cultures.
Ms. Rui-shia Sung was a valued supporter of ACA before she passed away in 2011. She helped with the ACA Chinese Community Center fundraising event when the building was first open to the public in 2005. She served as a judge for the ACA Art Contest sponsored by Chase Bank in 2007. Her family has generously committed to donating half of the proceeds from the sale of the paintings in this commemorative exhibition to ACA. We are grateful for their continued support of our organization.
The exhibition will be held at the ACA’s Chinese Community Center. The address is 32585 Concord Drive, Madison Heights, MI 48071. There is no charge for admission. If you have any questions, please contact the ACA Office at 248.585.9343 / 313.831.1790 or visit ACA website.
