I was honoured to be a invited as a VIP guest speaker at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto for the inaugural exhibition of Gathering in Toronto. It was a privilege to share my artist experiences through this cultural exchange.

The esteemed artists Mr. Chuxiong FANG, Ms. Shuran LIN and Mr. Gaokong ZHENG took centre stage with their truly jaw dropping art. Mr. FANG traveled to Toronto from China specifically for this exhibition. I never imaged I would meet the man behind whose many books I own.

This exhibition ends Thursday July 27th (10am-3:30pm) so if you have a chance to visit Scarborough, drop by and see this exhibition located at 5183 Sheppard Avenue East, Scarborough, ON.
