The 40 Acres Art Gallery is excited to present the exhibition, Whispers of the Past, which is an artistic exploration of Chinese history and culture in northern California through the eyes of artist Flo Oy Wong.  Whispers of the Past is a part of the Sacramento Philharmonic’s multi-disciplinary project, Gold Mountain, which seeks to celebrate Chinese contributions to California history through contemporary art and music.   

Whispers of the Past is the foundation for February's celebration of American History Month, which will celebrate both Black and Chinese history in America.  Click here for full programming information.   <http://www.40acresartgallery.org/
