As part of its mission to bring Asian art and culture closer to the community, the Toronto Asian Art Museum (TAAM) hosted a vibrant traveling exhibition at Rouge Woods Community Centre. This thoughtfully curated event showcased a selection of historical Asian artifacts, including intricate jade carvings, classical porcelain, and symbolic bronze pieces from TAAM’s collection.

The exhibition was enhanced by interactive activities designed to engage visitors of all ages. Attendees participated in hands-on sessions such as Chinese knotting, paper folding, and brush calligraphy. A cultural quiz with small prizes encouraged learning in a fun and inclusive environment, while traditional costumes were available for photo opportunities—creating a memorable cultural experience.

The event successfully connected newcomers, families, and long-time residents with the richness of Asian heritage, promoting intercultural understanding and community engagement. TAAM's team, including both senior and junior curators, was on-site to provide artifact interpretation and share historical insights.

This event reflects TAAM’s ongoing commitment to making art accessible and fostering a sense of belonging through cultural storytelling in public spaces.
