The Gallery’s Lunar New Year festival returns on Saturday 1 February & will be welcoming back the spectacular Tung Tek lion dancers who will be performing on the forecourt.

You can also participate in a programme of family-focused workshops inspired by delicious yee sang curated by Rosabel Tan, view and learn more about resources on Asian art and artists, and have a go at making some calligraphy snake keepsakes.

Talented musicians Iris Zhang and Raging Flowers will perform live sets, followed by some chilled vibes courtesy of EDY and Sam Nakamura on our East Terrace.

In the Gallery's auditorium Asian in Aoteroa will host a live recorded panel discussion and spoken word performances delivered by local literary stars, curated by Nathan Joe.

And there will also be bubble tea!

Bring your friends and whānau along for an unforgettable day of activities, workshops and performances!
