❤️ Access to art helps to educate and create compassion The National Commission for Black Arts & Entertainment launched the "Family Heritage Hop: A Black Arts & Culture Museum Tour," in Spring of 2024 to offer free bus tours to families that may not have the financial means to visit local museums. One of the stops on the tour is our very own Cincinnati Art Museum! Programs like these would not be possible without the generous funding from ArtsWave—who donated a $10,000 grant to help make this project possible!

NOW OPEN in galleries 234 & 235—From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung Free admission Woo Chong Yung 吳仲熊 (1898–1989), also known in the United States as C.Y. Woo, was a highly accomplished painter, calligrapher, and poet from Shanghai. From the 1920s to 1949, Woo was at the center of China’s cultural world, recognized in the art circles of both Shanghai and Beijing. Faced with political persecution in the 1960s, Woo migrated to Columbus, Ohio right before the Cultural Revolution. Once in the United States, Woo became an active presence in the local community, teaching classes in Chinese painting and martial arts and contributing his talents to local arts councils and ethnic festivals in Columbus and central Ohio. By the end of his life, he had essentially become a living legend in Columbus. From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898–1989) features nearly 100 works, including painting and calligraphy, carved seals, and a Taiji sword drawn from the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum and The Frank Museum of Art at Otterbein University. Few of these paintings have ever been published or publicly displayed. Woo’s lifetime body of work illustrates how his remarkable experiences of emigrating from China and becoming an American utterly transformed and reshaped both his life and painting. From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898–1989) is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts. Exhibition support is provided by Fuyao Glass Corporation of America with additional support provided by the JEANANN GRAY DUNLAP FOUNDATION and the Stockman Family Foundation.
