Red Oak Students' Dreams Come to Life

Artists Lily Xie and Crystal Bi Wegner collaborated with Pao Arts Center and BCNC to create a dreamy window mural inspired by BCNC Red Oak students. In response to the question, “What does your dream Chinatown look like?”, students drew fountains to splash around in, roller coasters, affordable housing, a public library, and of course, free ice cream, boba, and cookies.

The finished window installation welcomed back our children as they returned onsite. Crystal says, “The best part was the children’s reactions as they walked by us painting!”
