Shen Yun invites you to a breathtaking experience. Travel back to the magical world of ancient China. Experience a lost culture through the incredible art of classical Chinese dance. See legends come to life on stage. Shen Yun pushes the boundaries of performing arts. Ancient art forms meet with innovative multimedia, stunning costuming, all-original music, and masterful artistry. Diverse ethnic and folk traditions are beautifully evoked through dance alongside stirring legends and stories. With its very own unique orchestra, Shen Yun makes for an experience you won’t find anywhere else. Traditional Chinese culture —with its deep spiritual roots and profoundly optimistic worldview— was displaced by communism in China. While Shen Yun cannot perform in China today, it is sharing this precious heritage with the world.

Join us in-person at Oceanside Museum of Art for a free community screening of the film "A Choice of Weapons: Inspired by Gordon Parks" (99 minutes). Presented in partnership with Oceanside Public Library and the North County African American Women’s Association, the film explores the power of images in advancing racial, economic, and social equality as seen through the lens of Gordon Parks, one of America's most trailblazing artists, and the generation of young photographers, filmmakers, and activists he inspired. From the 1940s through the 2000s, Parks' bold and revealing body of work captured the intersections of art, race, class and politics across the United States, documenting civil rights and social justice as part of the everyday experience. Free copies of the book "A Choice of Weapons" by Gordon Parks will be given away by Oceanside Public Library while supplies last. Date | Sunday, February 6 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Location | Oceanside Museum of Art Register here to attend. This event is free and open to the public.
