Our Community, Our Future

The Chinese and Chinese American communities in the United States are always changing. Their lives are filled with different journeys and hopes and dreams. What does community mean for you, and what are your hopes for the future of your community?

The Chinese American Museum and the Chinese American Citizens Alliance announced a juried, nationwide Art Competition for students during the 2016-2017 school year.

For over 100 years, the Chinese American Citizens Alliance sought to better the welfare of the community and to achieve equality and justice for Chinese Americans and to encourage American patriotism. The Chinese American Museum, located in Los Angeles, across Union Station, seeks to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of America’s diverse heritage by researching, preserving, and sharing the history, rich cultural legacy, and continuing contributions of Chinese Americans.
