When you think of Chinatown, what sounds, sights, tastes, textures, and scents come to mind? How would you capture the bright colors of Chinatown’s streets during a Lunar New Year parade, the delicate flavors of your favorite dan tat, or the happiness of yum cha with family and friends? Chinatown is full of countless special places and spaces. Make a mixed-media collage inspired by your favorite neighborhood spots and the collages on display in Five Senses of Chinatown.

Paint, build, craft, and collage with us! Inspired by the museum’s exhibitions and local artists, MOCACREATE explores different themes every month. MOCACREATE workshops are designed with families in mind, but all are welcome!
