The Wing Luke Asian Museum opens its new permanent home at 719 South King Street in Seattle’s Chinatown/International District after rehabilitating the historic East Kong Yick Building and transforming a community with its successful $23.2 million capital campaign.

From its 60,000-square-foot building, the Wing Luke Asian Museum expands its role as an economic and community resource for a distinctly diverse neighborhood, as one of Seattle’s historic and creative treasures, and as a cultural institution of national significance. Spaces include Honoring Our Journey, Community Portrait Galleries, Historic Immersion Exhibits, Safeco Insurance Foundation Special Exhibition

Gallery, George Tsutakawa Art Gallery, East and West Lightwells, Tateuchi Story Theatre, KidPLACE, Frank Fujii Youth Space, Learning Studios, The Marketplace, Community Hall, and the Governor Gary Locke Library and Community Heritage Center.

A national model for community-based exhibition process, upcoming special exhibits include the Native Hawaiian Community in the Pacific Northwest (Special Exhibition Gallery, October 2, 2008); Civic Engagement (New Dialogue Initiative, August 19, 2008); Dance (KidPLACE, August 16, 2008), and Mixed Race/Ethnicity (Community Portrait Gallery, September 4, 2008). The “George Tsutakawa: The Making of a Fountain,” an exhibition featuring the fountains, paintings, models and sculptures of the pioneer artist, is on display through November 2008, in the art gallery bearing his name.

The Wing Luke Asian Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; and during free First Thursday and Third Saturday, 10 a.m.-8 p.m. The Museum is closed on Mondays. General admission is $8, adult (18-61); $6, seniors (62+); $6, students: grades 6 and above; $5, students: grades K-5; $5, kids ages 5-12; and free for kids under 5. Docent-led education and neighborhood tours are offered.

The Wing Luke Asian Museum is dedicated to engaging the Asian Pacific American communities and the public in exploring issues related to the culture, art and history of Asian Pacific Americans. A Smithsonian Institution affiliate, the Museum was founded in 1966 and celebrates its namesake, Wing Luke, the first Asian Pacific American elected to public office in the Pacific Northwest.

WELCOME TO THE NEW WING LUKE ASIAN MUSEUM! After 42 years of progress, we open the doors to our first permanent home.

When you enter the light-filled Welcome Hall, with its immediate pathway to the sky overhead, please remember the 170 community pioneers who came together in 1910 to construct this community resource, a hub of business and home life. We honor all those who lived and worked within these walls over the past 100 years. And we celebrate the opportunity to give voice and venue to our communities’ future, sharing with all.

I remember when the Museum Board and staff worked with architect Ken Kubota in 1996 on a Site Feasibility Study. They subsequently knocked on almost every door in the neighborhood until the opportunity to explore the East Kong Yick building emerged. Twelve community-based planning studies and 12 years later, we have opened the doors to a new Museum.

We are grateful to the community members and leaders who nurtured the Wing Luke Asian Museum over its 42 years, including the family and friends of City Councilmember Wing Luke, the community investors who raised the $23.2 million that made possible our new home, and a brilliant and dedicated project team who surmounted all manner of surprises and obstacles that a century-old building reveals when you try to coax it into its future. Still today we feel the presence of our predecessors in this building, and we appreciate our 2005 Blessing Ceremony that sought permission prior to the start of construction.

As we enter the next life phase of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, we are reminded of the community charge to steward your investment well, and discover routes to financial sustainability, the topic of much planning over the past 12 years. One of these routes is establishment of the Wing Luke Asian Museum’s first permanent endowment. We offer our sympathies to the family of Calvin Lang on his recent passing, and we thank Calvin and his family for the amazing bequest to the Wing Luke Asian Museum, a substantial beginning to our first endowment. Mrs. Helen Lang is well known for her participation in Chinese American community activities as well as museum support both locally and in their long-time home in Kentucky. The Museum Board of Trustees and staff will announce more on our first endowment campaign in the coming months.

The new Wing Luke Asian Museum offers you a choice of three distinct experiences. You are welcomed to explore contemporary exhibits and galleries and our new pan-Asian Pacific American Marketplace, or perhaps to take a walk back in time through a Museum Historic Immersion Tour, or thirdly to use the Museum as a portal to its neighborhood, the historic Chinatown/International District – see the neighborhood doors open as you join a Chinatown Discovery Tour.

Thank you for joining us in our Year of New Beginnings – here we go!

Displaying Leadership | YouthCAn Fellows Blend Art & Activism

Homelessness. Generational Gaps. Cultural preservation. Poetry in response to youth violence. These topics are on the minds of Asian Pacific Islander American (APIA) youth and the subject of exhibit proposals being developed by four Seattle high school students who won the 2007 YouthCAN High School Exhibits Contest. Last fall, YouthCAN sponsored an Exhibits Contest designed to elicit proposals that speak to the experiences of APIA youth in our community. To ensure substantive proposals were submitted, YouthCAN program staff conducted proposal workshops at local high schools and nearby community-based youth programs including Chief Sealth High School and the WILD Program at the International District Housing Alliance. From a pool of highly compelling entries, four YouthCAN Fellows and their proposals were selected based on their youth relevance, creative promise and leadership potential. Each Fellow brings a unique point of view about what it means to be a young, creative leader within our community. They come from Cleveland, Ingraham and Garfield High Schools and are involved in a host of community service activities that range from on-campus community building to neighborhood environmental justice. The common thread binding them together throughout this process is their passion to help the community. Currently, the YouthCAN Fellows are hard at work further developing their ideas into a sophisticated exhibit proposal in the tradition of WLAM’s community-based exhibition model. Besides the paid Fellowship, the Fellows participate in weekly workshops to enhance their research and leadership skills and develop working relationships with WLAM staff. They have been required to conduct interviews with other APIA youth to ensure their work is rooted in the community and meet the current needs of their APIA youth audience. At the end of the program, the Fellows will have an opportunity to exercise their leadership skills by selecting among their proposals one project to be fully developed this summer. Through the YouthCAN Summer Cultural Arts Experience, a new group of youth will be charged with taking the chosen proposal and do what we do here at the Museum: develop, design and build a community-based exhibition.

the pRoposALs > Michael, Sophomore. Title: Achieving ExcellenceWhat do you picture in this exhibit? “Influential art that inspires youth today and reminds them of their roots as Asian Americans and to succeed in whatever they put their heart, soul and mind to. I plan to use simple materials to create complex images.”

> Tran, Sophomore. Title: Asian VoicesWhy are you passionate about this topic? “I am aware of the gang fights and violence between Asian American youth who have the same background and instead of fighting and criticizing each other, I think we can become friends, help each other and improve the Asian American community.” YouthCAN, a program of the Wing Luke Asian Museum, connects Asian Pacific American youth (ages 15-19) with their heritage. Through our High School Exhibits Contest, Summer Cultural Arts Experience and Ambassador Program, the youth learn how to use advocacy, arts and cultural programming to take action on issues that affect the Asian Pacific American community.

What’s new at teensWAY By TeensWAY members

Iro Iro Special exhibition On display through August 31, 2008, in the Frank Fujii Youth Space

Every year at TeensWAY we create a one-of-a-kind art project. This year in particular is very special. We painted masterpieces under the guidance of accomplished artist and valued community member, Frank Fujii, which are currently on display at the new Wing Luke Asian Museum. Since last October, Frank came to the Museum weekly to teach us calligraphy and painting. Frank showed us the process of creating a beautiful painting. First, we selected a photograph from an array of magazine images that Frank chose. Then, we sketched out the image with pencil on a matted board. Next, we filled in our sketches with vibrant shades of tempura paint. Finally, off to Deng’s Art Studio to frame and matte the paintings. After the paintings came back, we hung the paintings on the exhibit walls in the Frank Fujii Youth Space. Our exhibit is called “Iro Iro,” which means ‘variety’ in Japanese. We invite you to visit the new Museum and see our own masterpieces.

Workshops with teensWAYBy Annie L. & Melissa W.

Art WorkshopsWe are very grateful for having Frank Fujii, respected local Asian Pacific American artist, to teach us about art. For the past few months, we’ve had lessons every other week about variouspainting techniques. We’ve taken a small section of a regular picture

Workshops with TeensWAY continued and re-painted with our own unique styles. Recently, we’ve started a new workshop on writing various fonts with calligraphy pens.

Event PlanningAngel Taniguchi, Museum’s Development Associate, guided us through our exhibit opening. Angel taught us how to set up technical work, how to set the tone of our event and different ways to invite our guests.

Public RelationsJoann Natalia Aquino, Museum’s Public Relations and Marketing Manager, taught us different approaches how to publicize our opening reception and how to create an appealing brochure to market our exhibit. Joann gave us ideas about what a reception should include such as various roles for TeensWAY members, the types of food we should have and the content of the program. TeensWAY is an art-based program that strives to engage youths ages 10-16 in Asian Pacific American history, culture and contemporary issues affecting the community. Join TeensWAY!
