Sharing
Several of our members have been wowed by one of the current exhibits at the Seattle Art Museum by artist Ai Weiwei--one of the few freedom fighters who hasn’t been killed by Chinese government. He was one of the designers for the famous Bird’s Nest stadium for the China Olympics. The first Thursdays are free for seniors. https://seattleartmuseum.org/whats-on/exhibitions/ai-weiwei?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7dm-BhCoARIsALFk4v95MqtEEtWeVDXwLUdaZsVfbqhz2NautSUTf9ughFyaWGiD9rRkYNsaApMsEALw_wcB
