About The Event
Join us at the Community Arts Center for Family FUNday with Nick Lee to create your own painted portrait! To celebrate the USA’s 250th anniversary, Nick invites guests to create their own painted portrait inspired by foods reminesicent of their family traditions. What we eat carries culture, memory, and identity. Together, our tables reveal something true about America: a place shaped by countless traditions, flavors, and hands. Leave with a painting and a small piece of a bigger picture.
Nick Lee (born 1996) is a Japanese American painter and 2021 Kent State University graduate. The work that interests Lee is the human condition and the diversity we have as people. The goal for Lee’s work is to be more inclusive in American portraiture. He strives for better representation of minorities by painting his own personal story to share with other Asian Americans.
