Over the past 10 years, numerous individuals 

have given their time, money, and wisdom to 

fund and operate the Summer Art in China project. 

We express immense gratitude for the people 

responsible for advocating and contributing to 

this life changing summer program. For these 

efforts have enabled 107 students and faculty

of both the art program and academia to come

together and embrace China’s historic creativity 

and culture. On behalf of all whom have benefited 

from the previous 10 years of this program,

we thank everyone involved in the process.

6:00 to 9:00 P.M. 

We celebrated the continued longevity of the program,

and presented certificates from Margaret Lam and

David Yen's Fellowship Ceremony for Summer Art in 

China 2011.

"In 2011 we represent the 4th generation of students 

to make this journey, with previous excursions having 

happened in 2001, 2005, and 2008."
