and for the art that is inspired by them. Mayor Li, who is a famous artist in his own right, encouraged the members of the Yangshuo Artist's Association to donate their paintings to our show. He sent two of his own calligraphy pieces and gave us a private tour of his studio.The government of Pubei also contributed to our show by sending seve

He personally found a donor to fund two $500 college scholarships.We invite you to enjoy our show and support our kids. There is also a great display upstairs of quilt square art from the local Rowan County Schools, who are Sister Schools with Yangshou Schools. Come see how creative all the kids are.
