Woo Chong Yung 吳仲熊 (1898–1989), also known in the United States as C.Y. Woo, was a highly accomplished painter, calligrapher, and poet from Shanghai. From the 1920s to 1949, Woo was at the center of China’s cultural world, recognized in the art circles of both Shanghai and Beijing. Faced with political persecution in the 1960s, Woo migrated to Columbus, Ohio right before the Cultural Revolution. Once in the United States, Woo became an active presence in the local community, teaching classes in Chinese painting and martial arts and contributing his talents to local arts councils and ethnic festivals in Columbus and central Ohio. By the end of his life, he had essentially become a living legend in Columbus.

From Shanghai to Ohio: Woo Chong Yung (1898–1989) features 88 works, including painting and calligraphy, carved seals, and a Taiji sword drawn from the collections of the Cincinnati Art Museum and The Frank Museum of Art at Otterbein University.

Create Plus: We are all the continuum of our ancestors
How do we learn more about ancestors we’ve never met and how do we honor their stories in art? Connect past with present in this artmaking workshop designed for adult audiences. First, participate in gallery activities and discussion throughout the exhibition Whitfield Lovell: Passages to explore multiple narratives in Lovell’s work. Then head to the Rosenthal Education Center (REC) to create artworks inspired by your own stories, memories, and ancestors. In the spirit of Lovell’s work, participants will create memory jar assemblages with everyday objects and learn portrait drawing techniques to capture their personal likenesses or a likeness of an ancestor. Taught by local artist and educator, Ryan Leary. All materials are provided, but participants may wish to bring their own small objects or photographs representing personal memories and people from their past.
