Join us as we celebrate Lunar New Year 2024, the year of the dragon.  Zhonghe (Elena) Li will demonstrate the art form of Chinese Paper Cutting and storytelling with her scissors and will instruct participants on the basic skills of paper cutting. Participants will use their imagination to create their own unique pieces to illustrate their stories. The second session at 5:30PM is for teens & adults (ages 13 and up). If you have any questions about this program, please email us at childrens@gleasonlibrary.org.

Zhonghe (Elena) Li is a multimedia artist who lives and works in Cambridge, MA. The motivation behind her work has consistently been her love for nature’s diversity and her concern for the environment, species extinction, and humanity’s role and future. She is deeply influenced by the Taoist philosophy of “being one with nature” and seeks to promote the principle of living together with balance through art.
